[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1370643, member: 87243"] Yes, it is 1:9. We also looked at lone peak really hard, the main reason we went with Stiller is the Lone Peak 338 and 338 TI actions are significantly more expensive, especially the TI at $1600+....and the Stiller is a somewhat more substantial action, being larger and longer, and inletting isn't an issue as we're having a Manners stock made to order. However, if lightest wieght possible is the goal, the 338 TI is probably the best option. Also, and I wouldn't put much on this, but my smith said that on a titanium action and a Lapua bolt face, he would be interested to hear if there were any issues with bolt set back. I asked the owner at Lone Peak, and he said he hadn't heard anything about it happening with his actions. Has anyone heard of this issue with high round count titanium Lapua actions? I still think though, even with the larger action, this rifle will still come in about as light as you would want for a rifle sending 300 grain bullets at 2750+....lol [/QUOTE]
