No argument here, its just my materials geek coming out.
You are totally right, the coefficient of thermal expansion is really good for Ti.
I'm not a big fan though, for the aforementioned ME issues and what the other gentlemen referred to, the fatigue cracking propensity.
Bottom line...
Incorrect. Please don't confuse Modulas of Elasticity with Yield Strength.
They both use PSI as units. Neither has a direct connection with the toughness (impact or fatigue generated)
ME or just E is basically the slope of the stress strain curve BEFORE the elastic limit is reached...
I don't know the Ti alloy used however steel has a modulas of elasticity of 29,000,000 psi
and Titanium has a ME of roughly 16,000,000 psi
So yea, its very much less Stiff (modulas of elasticity) given the same physical geometry.
I have a Choate take-off "Ultimate Sniper" It's in good shape but used. (that means some scuffing/scratches, but nothing overt) I bought a gun for a project and this came off of it. It does not include the bipod however it does have the bipod rail built in.

I am looking to set up a 300 WBY or 300 RUM for about $1,000
However I have the following items in stock and i would like to know if anyone has ideas on selling them, buying something else, reconfiguring etc
1: Weatherby Vanguard in 300 WBY (Blued, never fired)
2: Model 700 30-06 Stock...
