My experience with a original Ti is that you can't just lay it over bags and shoot good groups. I found that its better holding on to the forearm.

In the end I learned to shoot decent groups with it, but I never could shoot it well offhand so its lived in my safe for years now.

I find that a rifle that's maybe 7 lbs all up is better choice for me. Light enough It doesn't feel like a pig when carrying it, but I can shoot well from field positions with out having to think about it.

The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
