Well, thanks to a certain gun shop in Eagle River and their ability to hook me up with a really good deal, I shall soon (like tomorrow after work <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />) be the owner of a Remington Titanium chambered in .260 Remington. I decided against the 7mm-08 at the last minute and wanted to try out the .260 Rem. for the first time.
Now if my leg will heal fast enough so I can take this rifle on a deer hunt next month.
I'm guessing with a Leupold 3-9x40 riding on top will have my rifle setup well under 7 lbs.

Oh, oh, Brad, according to Sitka Deer that is the worst bastardized scope Leupy offers. But I like em too, have one on my sheep rifle and one I purchased from the Binster as a backup in the safe. Only time I was disappointed in it was one early a.m. on a guided moose hunt, had a moose cross the river right by camp, was wishing for my 1.75x6 it's an older one with the bigger bell and can't remember exact size, but no one else could count brow tines on the moose with all the other scopes in camp, so prolly was no loss.

1ak, I've used the 2x7 as my mainstay since the late 80's. The new VXII version is quite an improvement over the old Vari XII and is about like the VariXIII 1.75x6. I've never wanted for more.

I'm not sure. I really like those Leupold 3-9x40 scopes.

Bear, no doubt the 3x9x40 is a great scope... for me it's just out of place on a petite rifle like the 84M. YMMV.

bearstalker, if you want to try the 2x7 I could probably loan you mine to see how you liked the fit and performance as I stated previously, I have an extra.

The Ti won't be a pig in a poke. You know it will be highly accurate.
The 3-9X40 Leupold is awesome.

Just to add to the old post. That trigger guard on the old version Ti is silver painted, NOT stainless steel. Can't vouch for the new version but it weighs more and costs much more.

It's always been aluminum. It weighs more because the stocks are now made by Bell & Carlson.

All 700 TI stocks new and old are made by B&C. The new one had the full bedding block.
I have a Gen I TI that I like very much. Nothing wrong with a montucky either. Very nice rifles both. A bunch of us have most likely spent a lot more for quite a bit less.

I still remember when folks shot and Hunted...long before it was "fashionable" to do neither and for Window Lickers to guess about same like they had.
Poignant reiteration here within,as the dilldoes were few in retrospect,feedback was garnered by doing and Imagination was yet to come into vogue as a viable "answer". Now it's deemed as being "acceptable",for Do-nothin' Dumbphucks to espouse imaginary tales,imaginary factoids and to feign they've an imaginary clue.
Spent primers remain the Supreme Tutorial and it really ain't a stretch to savvy who do and don't. Very easy to discern the influx of idiots,their timeline and the advent of Imagination.
Cracks me up,that the idiots cain't savvy why they are idiots,or why they ain't coddled by all. Swampy and Jeff-O being the primest of examples and from all angles. They've zero qualm talking out their asses,about things they've never seen or done and will go the "extra" mile and chart with relish...to remove all [bleep] doubt.
Too funny!...............

Wow, people were polite to each other in 2005 around here. Likely 'cause that predated the appearance of certain members who now tend to pollute the atmosphere with BS and bad manners? Just a guess.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
