Titanium action help

[linebaugh]

I am planning to finally do an ultralight/mountain style rifle build and would like to hear others thoughts or opinions.

A few questions and thoughts

Who makes the best Ti long action?
Who makes the lightest Ti long action?

Is it really worth the extra expense? I am getting older and cutting as much weight as possible would be nice but is the weight savings even worth the trouble?

I love to build rifles but maybe I should just buy a Kimber Ascent or Adirondack? I wanted to go 260AI but its not a deal breaker.

Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks

A kimber adirondack is from what ive seen lighter than any titanium rifle. For what you get for the money and how good they shoot you cant beat a christensen arms. @6lbs and will shoot circles around the pencil barrel rifles in the same weight class

Christianson Arms must have really upped their game to impress you. Good to know. The carbon barrels seem to have made some really good strides in the last few years. Nice to have more options.

They went thru a rough patch for a few years i hear but i never saw it. Got one right now that had a 1 hole test target, the original owner (a member here) shot one hole groups with it and ive shot 3 different hornady factory ammo and all 3 shoot one hole 3 shot groups all at 100yd. It may be because its a creed and i have a talisman though.

They sure did have a "rough patch"! I had 2 of them in 300RUM - the first one, after about 5 trips back for repair, they took back and sent me a new one. The 2nd started out great, then started going all weird on me. It would shoot 1/2 moa one day then minute of dinner plate the next. I finally just moved on and will never have another one. My gunsmith said he has numerous cases like this. I hope they finally got it figured out.
