If a guy wants to ditch a couple ounces on the cheap, the Aluminum Trigger Guard makes a LOT more sense. The Ti Bolt handle for the 8400's made more sense than the Ti 84 as it lost around 1.5 oz. I had one, nicely made, but never used it. weight wise didnt matter much but didnt think it was gonna as you werent starting with much steel anyway to replace with titanium......but i like the looks and am happy with it....$40 wasnt much to change the look of the rifle a bit....

He used my SS trigger guard as a template for his CNC machine. You can not just order them from him for $55 shipped to Alaska so it may be less for those in the lower 48 I am no sure. http://www.weaverrifles.com/ Also my brother at C3 outdoors (he doesn't have a website and still has a big backlog for rifle painting) painted it for me.

Your pic shows the rifle at 80.1 oz's with the aluminum TG and action skeletonizing minus the bolt. How do you figure it will end up 76oz's "all up" ?

I think he meant that's what the rifle would weigh. If you add 14oz to that you'd be about 5-7oz lighter than a MT with a 2.5x8 with Talleys, stock.
