Re: Remington TI ?
It's too light. J/K No it's a standard 700 receiver, just light weight. No issues with the one I had other than the whippy pencil barrel with the exceptionally long throat. Shot first shots pretty well, then started to walk after 3 rounds.

Re: Remington TI ?
My hunting rig is a Ti. I rebedded the stock. Pulled the buggy-whip barrel and replaced it with a $50 standard weight 24" SS take-off from a XCR. Fire lapped it with tubb bullets. Put a 2.5x8 Leupy on it. It shoots 3/4 MOA, consistently, and weighs 7# even w/ scope, caps, sling, ready to hunt (but empty).

Re: Remington TI ?
I think that for what they are (being a great ultra light weight pack rifle) they are great and highly corosion resistant to boot.
I think they are limited due to the barrel they are matched with.
I bet with a great custom barrel and some good smith tuning, they would be as well as any other custom using a standard factory receiver.
I sold one to a hide member and he is going all tricked out with it.

Re: Remington TI ?
I've owned Remington Titanium actions and these are the problems that I ran into. Titanium is not the best material to make an action out of. Why? Because Titanium flexes a lot more than steel. and having your action flex on you is NOT something you want. Flexing does not make a rifle inherently accurate. Also, Titanium galls very easily. Make sure you use lots of anti-seize on the barrel threads or you will catch absolute hell in twisting the barrel off.
In short, stay AWAY from Titanium actions!

Hell NO! But when a fellow shooter on the Hide asks for advice, I'm not going to lie about my experiences in the past. Would you?

Re: Remington TI ?
Stock from the factory, the barrel is good for three shots, after that is a wild guess where the rounds are going.My Ti in 30-06 kicks like a mule, but it does make long walks in the woods much easier. And for three shots its a solid MOA shooter.
As for using the action for a custom, Ti is a bitch to machine, galls easily and is not cheap, but its light. Weight is the only real advantage I see.
And of course the high CDI factor...

Re: Remington TI ?
I would be interested in a 17-4 action, just not the ones in that ad.

Re: Remington TI ?
My 700 Ti experience is somewhat similar to what has been mentioned.
My 30-06 kicks like a mule with 180 gr partitions
First two shots are 0.9" apart and the third shot opens the group up to about 1.5"
Fourth and fifth shots are more of a pattern than group.
It is a hunting rifle, not a target rifle. So for a backpack hunting rifle for elk, it is great because you do much more carrying than shooting. But when the time comes to pull the trigger, it will perform.

Re: Remington TI ?
I have a .260 that while very nice and extremely light patterned much like a 20 ga shotgun Very sad for a rifle of that price; well the receiver was used for a GAP non-typical type build shown below.. now its a hammer.
