Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington 700 Ti Rifles...

I recently saw a well hunted Remington Ti in 7/08 sell for a nice piece of change, and it sold fast.

I did some light reading on this model. I guess Remington did an initial limited run in 2001 where retail prices were around $1100 bucks. I know they are a lightweight at under 6lbs naked. Aside from the weight reduction from a thin barrel, hollowed out knob and fluted bolt.

What’s the real deal about these rifles that makes them so popular to the point you can’t hardly find one for sale. I think they still make, or made a Alaskan Ti model at one point after 2001. Not sure if the Alaskan is still in production...

Just curious, what people seem to like...😎

Could it be the titanium receiver?

I snagged a first gen 270 on here, put some Talley light weights and a Swarovski Z5 3.5-18 on it, and it still only weighs 6lbs 7 oz., and shoots excellent with 130gr Nosler ballistic tip hand loads (haven’t tried anything else in it yet). Not much I can’t do with that combo, and it’s a pleasure to carry.

I’ve got a near new 1st gen. 700 Ti in 7mm/08 that’s got a Manners Ultra Classic coming for it.

LGS has one in 280 that’s like new. He wants $2K for it !

Mark,
You are welcome to take a look at the Ti I have. Its a 1st Gen Ti in 7MM-08. When these first came out I didn't get what the big deal was. Then they stopped making them so I had to have one and picked up a basically new one here in the classifieds maybe 4-5 years ago. Its a pretty slick little rifle, shoots pretty good for a skinny barrel and handles nice. I had the stock painted by DarrenK here on the fire, he did a great job on it. You probably have seen this picture before. I also had a Alaskan Ti in 25-06, sadly I sold that one - stupid on my part it was a really nice rifle. Took my 1st Wyoming antelope with it. Anyway, you ever in town you are welcome to see what you think.

Someone is really slow.

Who me??? Maybe. Kinda sorta, but not really.

I have tried the Uber lightweight rigs and don’t fancy them much. I bought the Gunwerks 7WSM that weighs under 7lbs and shoots lights out...It’s up for sale.

I also bought a Nosler M48 In 270WSM Super-Gay that is also a knot maker at under 7.5lbs and it too is gonna get a train ticket elsewhere.

Now, my Accurate Ordnance build in 7/08 which is a feather to carry is such a well built piece of shooting art. It will always have a home.

I assume you own a Ti...If not, you should buy either of the two rigs I have for sale and get your girl freak on. 😎

Frank,
Those are some dandies...Love to take a look should I get the opportunity. I’m not one to pass up seeing and holding a well made firearm. I’m just out of the lightweight rig ownership business. Too many years swagging heavies to change. 😎

Here’s one for the smart people....😎

It’s on the classifieds here as well. It is a reasonable price for anyone looking for this chambering in a ti. The Alaskan ti’s were only made 2007 - 2009, and there aren’t a ton of 300 wizzums out there.

I had the ti bug pretty bad for a few years. Be careful; they can be addictive ...

I borrowed one in .30/06 once, and after shooting two impressively-small groups with it to zero, I went out and shot a bunch of pigs with it over the course of a couple of days. Only a very brief test, but it did impress me as an accurate, extremely light and handy bit of gear. I'd have bought it then and there if the owner had let me.

The rifle in question has shown a significant flaw in the time since though, and that is that the finish on the stock broke down quite badly after a few years, going sticky and losing adhesion to the underlying material. The recoil pad did too, but that's a small thing really. The local distributor wasn't interested either, and now the rifle has a replacement (different) stock.

Has anyone else had this?

I’ve heard of/seen the recoil pads going sticky plenty of times, but never the finish on the stock. Recoil pad is an easy fix. Now, the browning duratouch stocks I’ve seen get sticky, and had one that did it. It was a pain, but I stripped it all off, and painted the stock with ceracoat. Was it a browning titanium gun that the stock went sticky on?

I’ve never seen one chambered in the 280. Rare bird indeed!

Pretty sure the Alaskan Ti came in .280

308 & 300SAUM

I've got a first gen 700 Ti in 7MM RSAUM. I mounted a Zeiss Conquest 3-9X42 with the ZPlex 600 reticle. It loves the 140 TTSX/59.0 gr of IMR 4350/FED 215M and sends them at 3075 FPS. It's been my go to rifle for years.

I’ll stick with my 6 pound (with 6x36 Leupold) 270 Montana.

Beav,

A few years back I drew an Oregon sheep tag. So I used that as an excuse to buy a new lightweight "sheep" rifle. Well I had always admired the Ti m700. So I found an original Ti in 270, a true sheep gun has to be a 270....

Well the Ti was extremely accurate and well put together, it could be tricky to shoot good groups with because of the lightweight but the gun itself was capable of very good accuracy.

I believe certain rifles are lucky and mt Ti was a lucky rifle and I killed many critters with it. It was so handy and effective my other rifles got left behind. My safe was full of unused rifles.....

Can't have that, so down the road it went. I miss it but my other rifles are getting used......

Being a gun whore has it's downside......
