If you can finish them yourselves a Bansner stock is a quality alternative to a Ti. About the same landed cost up here, assuming you can live with your own paint job. I've had a few and like them a lot.
We also have access to Wildcat stocks at slightly less money. Same deal as a Bansner to finish, though he will paint for a fee. Both are pretty highly regarded up here. I believe the Wildcat for a Remington 700 is a copy of the classic stock, not a bad starting point and bare blanks are about 18 ounces, IIRC from his website.
Going through the mental gymnastics myself currently for an early blued mtn rifle that is showing promise.
