[QUOTE="CaptBeach, post: 573138, member: 31011"] OK...so the jury is still out on Carbon Wraps...some say that they are the next wave...some say not... So if one was really looking to get a high end barrel...a 20'-24" stiffy in say .308, 30-06 or 300WM and really wanted to save some weight...how would titanium fot into the equation? I KNOW its expensive..so are carbon wraps...but lets say we found a source for 1.25" barrel grade Titanium and could send it to XYZ barrel maker..., what obstacles would they say they had to overcome? Tooling? Is Ti harder/softer to machine than high end stainless? Will they need to buy new reamers? Will their rifle boring/rifling tooling suffice? I've heard that Remington custom shop makes a Ti M700 in 30-06/7mm and 300WM but I'm specifically looking for a SAVAGE Bull/Heavy Varmint PRE-FIT Ti barrel to mate up to a rifle I have. Discuss...
