Our intended target is the high end light weight hunter and the tactical market. I hadn’t thought of benchrest much but if there was a demand, we would certainly make some changes to accommodate.

We’ve been in the Ti receiver business for 10yrs now, just not for our retail commercial sales. We’ve got most of the nuances of working with Ti figured out. Now if we could just get the raw material prices down.

As for Shot, unfortunately we were far to late in the year to get a booth. We will be there all days and have receivers handy for “show and tell” so grab me if you see me. Bigger plans to exhibit at the NRA Show and next Shot.

These receivers should make up into some very light mountain rifles. Will be interesting to see what custom gunsmiths make of them. Very nice!

Strength, tolerances etc is equal to custom actions in the market, it should be great to see the manufacturer makes single shot configuration for BR use.
It really doesn’t have to be in Rem700 footprint for BR use but a “rectangular” base (beefy yet light) such as Panda & Viper, which is much better for glue in.
In addition to reduce weight (and maybe for interchangeable bolt head), how about “separate” bolt head such as Savage? (bolt head can be by 4140/4340 and the bolt body & handle by the same Ti w/ hard coating).

I thought the bolt was a PTG. Either way , they`re different on the website.

bolt kinda looks like a stiller? I wonder what the clearance or tolerances will be on these. Good idea for a hunting rifle and for a benchrest 10.5 # but they dont look to be set up for benchrest. Interesting none the less. Lee
