Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Recomendations fpr a Remington Ti .270 build.

I am going with a Mcmillan edge and talley lightweight rings. What else should I do?

24" KS contour barrel.

I went with a Gaillard fluted 23" with reg factory sporter contour. A smaller contour may save the fluting for balance sake.



.

I'd do a PACNOR light weight or a #1. I'd also go no longer than 23" and have a 1.0-1.5" shank. Another option would be to go with a Remington sporter or magnum contour and have it fluted.

IF I had the $ I'd just buy this one:

and slap it in an EDGE

but I don't so I just look at the ad every so often.

and who would put a 50mm scope on a Ti?

Too long.

I'm assuming you have a Ti barreled action? Toss it in an Edge and run with it.

Would you please expand on this answer. Why do you feel 24" is too long?

Who offers this contour? Can I get one from I.T.&D?

Pac Nor #1 is close but it does have a bit of a shank where the factory KS doesn't.
Remfak here had Pac Nor duplicate his factory barrel so they will do that for you.
Some claim the Lilja #1 is pretty darn close but it has a shank too.

As for cutting it at 24", I won't have a .270 with less than that. For years I ran 22" .270's and felt alright but when I tried a 24" barrel I decided that the 2 extra inches was zero impediment and I picked up a full 100 fps.
Ken Waters and JOC both reported 100 fps gain when they went with a 24" barrel too.

I think someone posted that Lilja does. If you check their Existing factory contours, the one they call RemMtn24 I think is the KS contour.

I'm about to do this same thing and in looking I will probably go with a Brux #2 contour which should be really close. The KS is .60 at the muzzle which is what the Brux #2 shows. Or I suppose someone could dup the profile for you??

Because I've done it.

Lemme grab some pics.

Barrels ranging from 22-24".

Ti barrels to #4 Lilja. My favorite of the bunch is a regular old Ti bbl'd action, put in an Edge.

3rd from the bottom is a #1 Lilja, cut to 23". 4th from the bottom is a 24" Pac Nor, duping MR. Too long. I'm cutting it down to 22".

That's why I went 23". Couldn't make up my mind.

No dog in this hunt but I'd be listening to Calvin.........don't look like he's guessin.

Looks good.

Also find a scope that weighs no more than 13 oz and
swap out the Steel trigger guard for a lighter aluminum.

Holy crap, Calvin!
Any of those a KS contour?

Bad picture of the barrel but here is a 280Rem KS - that has been faux Ti'd:)

deerhunter,

Top to bottom:

22" Factory Rem Ti Contour
25" #4 Lilja Fluted
22" Factory Rem Mag
24" Pac Nor-Dupe Rem Mountain
23" #1 Lilja
24" #1 Shilen
22" Factory Rem Mountain

I just mailed off a Lilja RemMtn to get put on a Ti action. It'll be 22". The issue is balance, IMO. Edge stocks are light, and are best served with a 22" BBL. The 22" barrel is also great when you are hiking up and down mountains with the rifle slung across you back. A 24" barrels does a great job of catching branches, logs, etc..

Thanks guys!
