[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1800897, member: 11132"] I recall threads and posts, more earlier than recently, about barrels coming loose from Ti actions. What I was more concerned with is the more elastic nature of Ti for a given pressure compared to 400s SS and 4000s CM. I start thinking case expansion sticky extraction issues. No proof just the first concern I had off the top of my head. Personally I could not get past the depressive effect when you see this nice super light weight number for the action and then below it is the huge weight jump with the bolt added in. Now if they could make a bolt with a changeable head like Savage but the rest of the bolt body/handle Ti that might be something. Outside a special use case I think I can save more in the stock and barrel going to CF even type of scope can get you a good savings. Not to mention when rifles get too light they seem hard to get really settled in when shooting LR. IMO you can go too light from a shooting perf standpoint. If a person has the $$ and wants it why not. Plenty of positive reviews by owners on the recent ones. [/QUOTE]
