Re: Rem 700 ~TITANIUM~ Custom Build ?
I had GA Precision build me a 6.5 Creedmoor using a Rem 700 TI Action. After talking a few times to the builder Moon/Tim Roberts, he informed me that the TI actions were done/machined for Remington by Smith & Wesson and they are blue printed true and correct.

Thanks OutLaw.........looks like I'll be doing a build with it, either keeping it a light weight 270, a 30-06 or a 280Rem!!!!!!!

Re: Rem 700 ~TITANIUM~ Custom Build ?
Titanium seems like an expensive action for a build. If I was spending that kind of money I would go custom action even if it were a little heavier.
Go with the 280.

Re: Rem 700 ~TITANIUM~ Custom Build ?
Buck being that I already have the action I figure no need to go with a custom action, the 280 will more than likely be the way I'll go!!!!

If you are gonna run the Ti stock, Bartlein or Rock barrels #1 contour are perfect fit.

Re: Rem 700 ~TITANIUM~ Custom Build ?
I would think that you would need to stick with a fluted #4 contour or less to keep the rifle well balanced with the titanium action. that coupled with a Mcmillan Edge stock would make a nice easy to carry custom rifle. The 280 AI is a sweet round and would be a perfect mate for that action.

I've got a nice Dakota in 270 Win, and have an Argentine Mauser 98 at the smiths getting barreled to 280 AI now. Now that the 280 AI is commercially produced its ballisticly a better option with more powder capacity and higher ballistic coefficient bullets it's a better option then the older tried and true 270.

Your wife has good taste in the film dip on the stock. I have that same pattern with a blue back color on a slide of a Glock 17.

Re: Rem 700 ~TITANIUM~ Custom Build ?
Those of you that have Original Ti's that have keep them that way did you remove the pressure point in the stock or did you keep it there, reason I asked this one I have shoot CoreLokts(130grns) pretty doggone good. I kinda want to float it but scared to do so.
