I can't believe they saddled the standard chamberings with a 24" tube...

I would think you could do better for $1,650 if'n you don't mind a 4 or 5 month wait while you piece one together.
Now with even more aplomb

I've been told by 3 different dealers to expect a 10% price increase across the board for Remington Rifles for 2007.

Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

Considering that Remington factory crowns leave a lot to be desired, I view it as a huge plus that they allow for some extra barrel length. That way I can have the barrel crowned at whatever length I choose. IMO, 23" is about perfect in a sporter weight, standard chambering barrel. Lop a little bit off the end, and we are right there with a custom crown to boot. $50 very well spent in most every scenario.

It's a fluted barrel and personally I don't like a barrel finished with the flutes running off the end... personal preference as it obviously won't affect anything.

Was anybody griping about the old style Ti, other than wishing it was less expensive? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Gotcha.
Doesn't bug me much though, since I am not of the short-barrelled fraternity.
Good thing for all of us that not all rifles are vanilla flavored.

Looks like you'll get about an inch before the flutes will be exposed.

Helluva markup for the retailer, there, eh?
Did I read that right ... 5%?
I wonder what manufacturing costs are.

Was thinking along the same lines. Sure glad I am not trying to make a living selling those.

I can have a pretty darned nice custom with a barrel a heck of a lot better than remington's put together for that kind of money....

No question firearms retail sales is no money tree. But THAT is some skinny pickins!

I wanted the Alaskan Ti at first, but not at that price.
