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...... Good decision...I also send my good shît down the road, and usually at nice reduction in what I paid....It’s my version of Opus Dei penance. It hurts, but feels good afterward. Goat draw Oregon? Saaay Whaaat? Explain yourself Lucy. 😎

I've owned two of them. Might own another if the price was right. With that said there is nothing real special about them. And they arent worth what they are selling for now.

LGS has one in 280 that’s like new. He wants $2K for it ! I’ve never seen one chambered in the 280. Rare bird indeed! Pretty sure the Alaskan Ti came in .280 Yep. As well as 7 rem mag.

I am going to adopt Shrap's motto.. everything is for sale... at the right price..... the yard sale pricing in the past has not served me well, from now on Shrap pricing!

. Was it a browning titanium gun that the stock went sticky on? No.If it had been the Browning I'd have said so. In any case, why would I be talking about the Browning when the thread is about the Remington 700 Ti?

When my local gun store cleared them out a decade ago, I decided I didn't really want one that much. $600 for any caliber I wanted, all in stock and ready to sell. That was a dumb move on my part.

Are they any more smooth then when I looked at a new one? It seriously felt like it had a handful of sand in the action when trying to run the bolt. The reason I left it.

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? Do you recall if it had a floorplate? I would bet anything it was an Alaskan ti... The sticky recoil pad is certainly not uncommon on the original ti, but I have never encountered the finish going sticky on them.

I have a first gen Ti in 30-06. It shoots pretty well. There is some wear on the reciever so it looks like it says 700 Titan. The ium is worn down a bit so the dealer I bought it from gave me a pretty good deal because he didn't know what the titan was.
Its pretty obviously a titanium given the color, bolt knob, and fluted bolt. I have a spare B&c la stock for it just in case this one gets damaged.

I
Just curious, what people seem to like...😎
To my knowledge they we're the first factory flyweight mountain rifle [and all weather to boot]... 5 1/4 to -5 -1/2 lbs for the originals. A limited market , but they filled that niche. The next best options at the time we're very limited avail. of custom non -Remington Ti rifles that costed a lot more. today with companies like Rifles Inc, I can get a steel long-action 700 custom that comes in at 5-1/4 lbs so no desperate need for titanium option.
-Bulletproof and Waterproof don't mean Idiotproof.
