[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1352126, member: 85987"] The Browning titainium I looked at yesterday was in 300wsm. Put a Proof carbon on it in a carbon fiber stock done. The Ti action is larger than the standard action creating a stiffer platform without the weight penalty. The barrel change will make it shoot. I've had lightweight and featherweight Winchesters. One of each was sub half minute all 7 would get to 1 inch 3 shot groups fine for normal ranges. Going long would be tough just trying to make them steady enough without the accuracy handicap. My dad had a 5.5# 06 w/scope built on a mauser. It shot into a hole for 3 then would start to walk as it heated up. The rifle kicked straight back as a function of the shape/inlet of the stock. A factory stock won't be so friendly in a lightweight configuration in a shortmag without a break. [/QUOTE]
