Rifle Scopes Titanium rings and bases!

Re: Titanium rings and bases!

No prices posted?

Is it one of those cases of ... if you have to ask, you can't afford it?
 
Re: Titanium rings and bases!

They have the prices for the Savages it looks like $250 for the titanium ones.
 
Re: Titanium rings and bases!

I do see the Savage prices. Too rich for me.

Another solution to a nonexistent problem.

Thanks for the heads up Turk but I agree with USMCj. I guess you can buy it for the "BLING" factor.

Re: Titanium rings and bases!

I should have said only.

"NEW!!! - Introducing the world's only 100% Titanium scope base for Savage and Remington bolt action rifles."
 
Re: Titanium rings and bases!

Hi, my name is Cameron Murphy, and I run Murphy Precision, along with my Father, John. This weekend I had the pleasure of having a nice conversation with Turk, where he was kind enough to offer to put a link to our site up on this forum.

While I am trying to be careful not to spam this or any other forum, I wanted to address the concerns of shane45. I honestly wasn't aware that any one else had produced titanium scope bases for Savage or Remington rifles. I will change our ad copy to reflect that fact.

As to concerns that our products are too expensive, I agree. Unfortunately titanium is a very difficult metal to machine, requiring two to three times the tooling costs, and a throughput of maybe 25% of what could be machined if we were making bases out of steel. Because of this, our bases will always have a relatively small market where titanium's unique benefits make sense. We are simply striving to make the absolute best bases we can, and offer the best customer service possible.

If you have any questions about, or any suggestions on ways we could make our bases better, please send me a PM.

Thanks,

Cameron Murphy

The same can be said for aluminum and steel.
 
Re: Titanium rings and bases!

The same could be said of titanium and aluminum

This would be of more interest on a light weight hunters forum where they are looking to shave ounces as they have already reduced the pounds. For the heavy beasts we shoot a few ounces would not even be noticed.

Re: Titanium rings and bases!

Make the base and rings out of carbon fiber and you will get a WOW from me.
 
Re: Titanium rings and bases!

For the PITA factor and $$ factor of working in Ti, what you gain is strength/weight.


Ti rings will weigh <span style="font-style: italic">about</span> the same as Al rings for <span style="font-style: italic">about</span> the strength of a Heat Treated Steel rings.
 
Re: Titanium rings and bases!

Oh please, please NO. I was hoping everyone was going to forget about Ti. That was one of my first jobs running when I got here and what a PITA. Aluminum and Steel much, much better.
