I just picked up a 1st Gen Ti in .308 Winchester
(see more in the Hunting Rifles forum)
Rancho Loco, I'm not 100% sure it can be done, but would you rechamber it to the SAUM?

I'd leave it as is.. A .308 TI is going to be a killer.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

If it were me I would go with the 7-08 and a 140gr AB or NP and call it good. Varget is a great place to start as well. I love my 06 and it likes about any load you put in it. For a light rifle the recoil is mild.
Good Shooting!

I have a 1st Gen 7saum. I did change the stock and went with a BDL to hold an extra round in the belly with a Wyatt mag box. Great gun. Recoil is not bad at all but it does weigh more than a 7-08, almost a pound more. Since I don't have to carry it up a mountain it's perfect for me.

Wow, that's a significant difference. Remington suffers from self sabotage. Remington's marketing department couldn't sell a bucket of water to a man whose pants were on fire. They'd freeze it first for better sectional density.

Think an action manufacturer could make some $$ if they offered a Titanium Rem clone action and kept the price under six Benjamins?
Or how how about a Win 70 clone action in titanium for $600?

Titanium is expensive stuff, and more importantly, machines much differently than steel.
Obviously doable but dunno if a small-batch builder could turn a profit at sux bills. Maybe!
How about a Kimber Montana Ti? That'd be cool.

I was told by a gunsmith that Remington did not even make the TI action. Has anyone heard this too?

What is the difference between the two? About one pound of dead weight...

MtnHtr X-Treme Shooting is bringing out a Titanium Rem clone...but it will be $1350. They claim to be the only manufacturer of Titanium receivers in the US. I was under the impression they could have been making the actions for Remington, although I believe the first ones were made by Prairie Gun Works in Canada.

Gotta remember, the US boys aren't paying a 50% markup like we are....I did buy a used 84M Classic for about $800 once...but that was a fricking miracle.

Okay I'll bite. For $1350 you get an Extreme Ti action period and hopefully thats for a complete action. One still has to purchase a stock and have a new tube screwed on. Add about $1000 for a good stock and new tube installed. So now its up to around $2350 for a complete rifle. For $1100 one can pickup a Montana. For another $500-600 one can have a complete custom rifle (The Montana's are a little barrel lite for my tastes so I would rebarrel). I would also repaint the Montana stock with Polane T and coat the action in KG GunKote for slickness. Total would be around $1700, maybe less if one trips the take-off barrel. Savvy? MtnHtr
