[QUOTE="WESTERNAERO, post: 419871, member: 24135"] WOA.... is right. I wasn't trying to start an argument. You are correct that the ME of steel is twice that of titanium. I was just saying that I like titanuim if you can affort it. With the types of rifles you see on this site everyone is concerned with super tight tolerances with the actions. Titanium is a very temp stable material and will have almost zero dimensional movement when thing start to warm up or cool down. It's also lighter making it nicer to carry as a rifle. And if you were to make a reciever out of titanuim you could change it dimensionally to compensate for any weaker areas which I'm sure Remington has already done. Maybe stiffness is not the correct way to compare the two in a rifle. But if you look at almost all upperlevel motorsports the connecting rods that are most popular are made from titanium, because they are lighter and stronger (impact resistant, zero stretch or growth and stiffer) than steel rods. But 10 times the price. [/QUOTE]
