Thanks!

I have a couple of what Big Stick used to call the "faux Ti", a parts gun with a steel action, Mountain Rifle barrel, and Ti stock. I haven't weighted one for some time, mine are in 260 and 308. I wanted to do one in 243, but could never find a MR contour barrel as a donor.


260Rem - be on the lookout for a used Gander Mtn Guide rifle, there was just one in the classifieds recently. Basically a stainless Mtn rifle in the same stock they put on the 1st Gen Ti rifles, like you said makes the perfect start to the "faux Ti". I had one in .243 and in a moment of insanity I sold it - mistake! It was a really nice rifle and shot really well for such a lightweight rig. Had it set up just like my Ti and think it only weighed 6-7 ozs more than the Ti.
