Hope so too, Sister has some in her hip after a fall from a horse <g>.

isaac - good luck with the search... I'll keep an eye open for you. - Jim

Guess so <g> Prices are kind of all over the place lately...

Thanks buddy!

Good thread...I'm learning.

Like or dislike the new Ti. Price will only go northward, eventually since they have discontinued, because obviously there are enough people out there that like them. That demand will eventually out-strip supply. It is a simple matter of economics.
All the more if Remington does not have a follow up.
jmho.

one in .308 just sold on GON for $900. I think it had a bushnell elite scope on it also....dangit, sounds like I could have made some bucks on it

Good Luck On GON I'm Was The first One Posted on It. Yesterday with a I'll Take it. I'm Still getting the Run Around. No Pic's,He Dosn't Know if The Older Pre -R3 Of newer. Dosn't Know about The box and Papers{He Thinks They Be at the Shop} It Goes. On And On...

I told him I would buy it and pay shipping . i think hes running a auction.

Ti Slut...(grin) I see you dropped a few of them in Edge stocks. I did the same thing. An Edge stocked Ti is a match made in heaven.


I have 3 of them in the safe, and those Ti actions will be with me till the day I die. I'm sure they'll see a few bbl's in my lifetime though.

JPro nailed it. 1st gen Ti's that could be had for under 1k were the cats azz.. $1,400 to $1,800 for a Ti doesn't even come close to interesting me. I can build one hell of a rifle with a premium bbl and Edge stock in a wildcat chambering with the groove/twist bbl I need for $1,800...

The first generation Ti is indeed a nice mtn.rifle, especially dropped in an EDGE. However, I'm partial to the Kimber Montana's.

Now having said that, I have one Ti remaining in the stable (7mm-08) which I'm rather fond of, and doubt I'll ever part with it.

I wouldn't sell my .308 first generation Ti for twice what I paid for it. I also have accumulated a LA Ti stock and some takeoff mountain rifle barrels in the event I want to do an inexpensive faux Ti on a standard action down the road.

FOsteology,

That's a neat look w/ the ASAT type camo on the stock. Well done.

Bob;

Get the Kimber Montana in 7-08.

My advice would be to buy a NIB 700 Mountain LSS in 7mm-08, then order a first generation Ti stock through Stocky's or find a Gander Mountain 700 Mountain Guide . You'll have virtually the same rifle and be into it no more than $900. With patience you should be able to get it for less than that price. If you want a fluted bolt, send it off to Karl (Kampfeld). I did this with a 270 (got a MTN LSS), sold the stock and bought a B&C from Stocky's. I was planning on having the bolt fluted but it just seemed like a waste of money so I decided against it. My oldest son has already claimed it for his "elk" rifle. I told him he has to wait until I'm gone!

Just checked my GunsAmerica wish list and there is a 700Ti 300-RSUM NIB for $895 item # 983401337 if any of you guys are interested.

I actually did just that. Took a 06' Mtn. LSS - sold the stock and got a very gently used Ti stock for $200 and am in it less than $800 (before selling my bottom metal) with a 5.6lb rifle. Suppose I can flute bolt, skeletonize handle and slab action and save another 3-4 oz. for around $225 - it would sure look cool, but would it be worth it.....?

Either way, its a fun, cheaper way to a lightweight long action, otherwise - roll with a .308/7-08 Montana.

You got 5.6# w/ an '06 barreled action w/ a 22" mtn contour barrel, ADL style in an original Ti stock?

Went back and check scale notes:
4 lb. barreled action
1.6 lb. stock

(did not weigh action screws, skeletonized mag box and ADL trigger guard)

So, not sure what that would put it at - have to do some weighing this afternoon and get back with you. Wasn't trying to mislead you at all, but its close to 5.6lbs.

I'm also in the process of doing this build. Picked up a new LSS 7mm-08, will it was new but had been sitting in the backroom of gun store for 4 years so got a screaming deal on it. Sent bolt off to Karl to Ti flute, ordered a Callahan Speedlock firing pin/shroud, and have a Ti stock on the way. I will weigh when complete and see how I did.

Got the numbers!

Bolt: 13.5 oz.
B-A: 47 oz
Guard and screws: 4oz
Stock: 26 oz.

Total 90.5oz = 5.66 lbs.

Talley LWs coming in soon and topped w/ Leupy 2-7x33: hoping for around 6.5lbs finished. (before fluting and skeletonizing)
