[QUOTE="oldpilot, post: 1771511, member: 87110"] First off, a titanium barreled rifle is going to be very expensive because the material is not just titanium, but a specific alloy engineered for that purpose. You may recall that back at the end of the 50's we crafty Americans built an airplane made of titanium alloys including a lot of engine parts. The titanium skin is totally different than the alloys in the engine compressor and afterburner sections all of which is stronger and lighter than steel and stainless. The point being that the cost of the T-38/F-5s was 760m and 1 mil at the same time...if they would have been built of titanium they would have had a price tag of about 60 mil. So cost of glass for this should be the best for your rifle, not necessarily the most expensive unless you need too show off. No offence intended. [/QUOTE]
