[QUOTE="Lefty G-gear, post: 1801545, member: 26902"] #10 ... ... Case in point: Remington Titanium M700's and[I] M40's[/I] (those [I]do[/I] exist, I have one) are not, nor have been ever offered in a magnum just for the reasons I've stated. Long actions Titaniums (they also exist, trust me) are not setup in magnums either. The material (6AL 4V) just does not weather impact and abrasive type duty cycles well. Ti is used in aircraft/people because its light, strong, and benign to corrosion and oxidation. As good as all this is, it's not HARD which is a vital part of being a firearm. Hard, slick, & tough parts belong in a gun. Hope this helps. [URL]https://forum.snipershide.com/threads/gunsmith-opinion-on-titanium-vs-steel-action.6970977/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
