....in 7mm-08.
Been trying to track one down so thought I'd go with the old, reliable Campfire classifieds.
Desire it NIB.
Thank you!

They're right at $1,850 plus shipping and insurance - but they're available. Send me a PM if interested.

For what it's worth and FYI...
For around the $1200 mark .260 Ti's can still be had NIB on the the gun auction & listing sites.
If the 7-08s are substantially more, I'd just have to learn to live w/ a 6.5mm, which ain't a bad place to be.

Thanks guys...I am looking at the bigger pilled 7mm-08. A gentleman just PM'd me with a very nice 06 purchase new and a good price. I'm waiting to hear from my gunsmith as we were initially focused on NIB.
1850 is a unexpected chunk of change but I'm weighing the pros and cons.
All of your contributions are appreciated.
Tony.....thanks!

$1850'd make a nice deposit on a NULA.

While just a few ounces away, the special run SS MTN. rifles that remington put together for Gander Mtn. can be found at a very reasonable price.
The old style TI ADL stock, non-skeltonized bolt.
I just picked up a NIB w/ a bad crown, 7mm-08 for $525.
You may already know this but remington has produced two different TI rifles. The older style is a blind magazine, ADL and the new Alaskan TI with a floor plate and fluted barrel. The new Alaskans price new at $1,500+ and older style when they were current was around $1,100.
A lot of NIB old style TI rifles are listed close the new TI pricing.

I got an "old style" a little over 2 years ago. It was 1,150.00 shipped. I had shopped for a while and that was the best price I could find at that time.

$1850 is delusional. You can buy brand new Alaskan Ti's for $1620-1760. The regular Ti's in 7-08's NIB pop up occasionally still and go for $1300-1400.

I don't want to be the only one with egg on his face!

still somethings got to be done about the stock paint job.
Rick Bin may have mail soon whilst I'm swappin out scopes on it.
I don't see it going it's whole life being called Jungle Fever.

Even $1600 is too much for a supposedly "lightweight" gun that weighs over six pounds despite having an (expensive) titanium action. Go with an old style (pre-Alaskan) Rem 700 Titanium if you want a true lightweight. If you want a gun that weighs over six pounds, there are a lot of other (better and cheaper) choices available. Titanium is not a good action material unless you make use of its light weight, and the newer Alaskan Titanium model is too heavy to be considered to make good use of titanium.

'Course a guy could always buy a Kimber Montana coming in at 5 lbs 2 oz with an action still made the way they are supposed to be made for around a Grand and have enough left over for a good scope, case, sling and ammo. But that might be too simple. It might not be a good idea to some, but it's a bump just the same.

Issac:
If you aren't in a big hurry you can find a used 7mm-08 M700Ti for about a grand + or - a bit. New figure $1150 or so. They turn up at irregular intervals though. I sold my NIB M700 Ti (early style, blind magwell) in 30-06 for $1150 + ship. There was a used one on GB for $999 and another one for a grand. For months none... keep looking, it is fun looking for deals.
Be safe

What are these better and cheaper choices that weigh the same or better? Kimber Montana? If you want to roll the dice on accuracy. The Rem Ti will be more accurate 7 times out of 10. Sako Finnlight? Sure but once you ditch the crap stock for a McMillan you're way over $1600 and the Sako weighs more. What else?

When it comes to choosing friends....I'm at an age where I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

I could built one hell of a rifle for the supposed $1,600 street price of a Ti Alaskan. No contest, not even close....
