I know he did one previously. Is he doing another one right now?! If so I'm in.

I have the same setup you are looking for done by pierce. Also did Ti, bolt and firing pins. Recoil lug is ti also my action screws. I did and eh5 thumbhole to aid in shootability.
I had pierce do the whole thing and love the rifle it's my go to.

I am not a huge fan of the Pierce TI action. I have shot 3 rifles that used them, and they are really sticky. 6.5CM, 6.5 SAUM, 7RM.
I have also shot 3 different rifles that use a Lone Peak TI action, my own included. Much smoother. 6CM, 7RM, 28 Nosler.

Were those Pierce actions Cerakoted? My Pierce was silky smooth but it was Cerakoted. I have never had my hands on a LP.

A lot of great input and ideas. I just came across one I hadn't heard of BETTIN CUSTOM GUNS. Evidently they wrap there own carbon barrels. I see the build off someone else's action ( STILLER ). Has anyone heard of them? I can't seem to find anything except on their web sight. I am curious about them.

One was in the white, one was full Cerakote, one was Cerakote w. Melonite bolt.
Interesting. I loved mine. I'd love a lone peak fusion ti.

A number 4/ 5 fluted weights about as proof barrel. If you go proof then you don't really have any other options down the road. Biggest advantage is using full size breaks. I have owned a lone peak titanium action. They are not as smooth as a defiance action. But it was a nice action. A3 or manners EH1 is what I have and like a lot.

My pierce is butter smooth. It felt a bit sticky for the first 50 rounds and now is smooth as silk. It's coated.
I have shot rifles built by Jon Beanland and GA Precision. Both gunsmiths build rifles that are extremely accurate. I'd bet Jon would build the rifle the way you want it.
I have the lone Peak Razor ti's all built as lightweight hunting rifles and can vouch for them being smoother than friends that run the pierces, I think it also has something to do with the pierce not running a guide/bind rail (not 100% if that's the correct terminology) if I remember correctly which can cause them to bind up easier similar to a Forbes. I would think lane precision or Ryan pierce would build what you want?
