[QUOTE="Loner, post: 573154, member: 24560"] Titanium does not fatigue and it does not absorb shock, it transfers it to your shoulder or the other parts of the gun. When it fails it's catastrophic. Not a good choice of materials. McMillan dropped their lightweight stocks. I have no idea why, my 700 stw mountain rifle is under 5.75 lbs. Shoots 3/4 moa and better. Drop the lbs. off your waist, the guns are light enough. And ti is very hard on tooling, it's tough abrasive metal. Fairly soft at about 45 rockwell being as as hard as it gets. [/QUOTE]
