[QUOTE="CaptBeach, post: 573140, member: 31011"] OK...opened up a can of whooop *** GOOGLE FU and may have answered my own questions... Seems McMillan make an ALL Ti rifle a few years back only to find that the rifling in the barrel was eroded by galling in less than 50 or so rounds...so Ti is not a suitable rifle material...so onwards... So if one were a home builder and also a fairly accomplished armorer on a quest to build an extremely lightweight tactical/long range hunting rifle it seems to me that one might go as follows... 1. A very lightweight tactical stock, a Manners, a McMillan or even a B&C Tactical Medalist that has been lightened even further. 2. A Remington Ti Action 3. A carbon fiber barrel chambered in 30-06 (simply my preference) 4. Alum 20MOA mount and rings 5. Leopold or Huskemaw scope 6. CDI bottom metal AND AICS's new polycarbonate magazines... Am I dreaming at having a VERY LONG RANGE, VERY ACCURATE PACKAGE at <7lbs? [/QUOTE]
