Thread: $1600 what rifle would you buy?

Its between an X-Bolt and a Titan 6 at the moment, yet to have a look at a Extreme weather and the Mountain Rifle was horrible.

Have you decided on caliber?

Well it is in 7-08 which i would be happy with

would you consider a .243?

Watch those titans the alloy recievers ding up and look like shit in no time

The Titan's have Alloy receivers which apparently mark easily.

Toby they are gross.

Titan's are trashy as hell.

Jeez 3 comments like that in as many minutes, i may have a re think.

Not sure about the Howa action (and slightly off topic), but for comparison have a look at how much Savage took out of their action getting the Lightweight Hunter down to 5.5lb from the 6.5-7 of the regular models. Shows what can be done with the right skills and gear.

I have a mate with a Titan in 22 250 it's an absolute cracker, shoots very well, has the walnut stock though.

I had a Walnut titan 6 for 5-6 years. Kept it a lot longer than the 85 finnlight and the t3 I had . Didnt hear anything bad from the 3-4 guys I know that actually owned one either. I didnt like the plastic stock but wood is always my preference.

That looks like a much nicer rifle than what we had here sneeze, must be different grades? The standard model with timber stock we had was rough at best.

Yes there are 3 grades standard, luxus (the one i had ) and exclusive. But its only the wood that changes. All barrels are top grade from heym and merkel. Aside from the cooper I have it was the most accurate factory rifle Iv tried. Still have a little sellers remorse. Iv heard about the dinged reciever thing from inserting the bolt but I didnt see it. But then I dont try and throw the bolt in like a dart I

And why is that ?
Your surely must have some persuasive and accurate data to back this up, especialy considering the remington 770 is obviously in the equation.
