Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In recent years, titanium has received increasing attention from gunmakers, as its combination of strength and light weight makes it ideal for weight sensitive applications such as handguns for concealed carry. Titanium offers the additional benefit of being impervious to corrosion from water, sweat and other substances to which guns are often exposed.
Despite its advantages, titanium has been used for major structural components of bolt action rifles by only a handful of custom and semi-custom gunmakers. The introduction in 2001 of the Remington 700 Titanium Lightweight marks the first time a major American manufacturer has entered the titanium rifle derby.
The Titanium Lightweight is essentially a Model 700 Mountain Rifle with additional weight reducing features. Both short and long-action variants are offered, with the former chambered in .260 Rem. and 7 mm-08 Rem. and the latter in .270 Win. and .30-’06 Sprg. The rifle’s capacity is three rounds in the blind internal magazine in its ADL-style stock.
Despite its name, only the receiver of the Titanium Lightweight is made of titanium; the rest of the rifle is of steel. While the gun’s titanium receiver is in large part responsible for the its light weight— some 11 ⁄4 lbs. less than its Mountain Rifle sibling—other modifications also contribute to weight reduction. For example, the bolt has six 0.25" wide spiral flutes around its body, a skeletonized bolt handle and a hollowed-out bolt knob. Furthermore, the rifle sports a new Bell & Carlson carbon fiber/Kevlar composite stock that is both trimmer and lighter than its Mountain Rifle counterpart. That stock, which is designed to exert upward pressure on the barrel at the fore-end tip, features quick-detach sling swivel studs, a 3/4" rubber buttpad and aluminum bedding pillars around the stock screws.
The Titanium Lightweight’s main story, however, is its receiver. The exact titanium alloy used is proprietary, but is described by Remington as a “commercial aerospace-grade titanium alloy.” According to the company, the titanium receiver is fully as strong and as hard as receivers made of the more familiar chrome-moly and stainless steels used in gunmaking. Shooting tests seem to confirm that, as the Titanium Lightweight passed the same 10,000-round factory endurance test to which other Remington rifles are subjected.
The Remington 700 Titanium Lightweight is a highly specialized rifle offering powerful chamberings in an extremely light, handy package. While it is clearly not for the plinker or occasional hunter, it will likely have strong appeal to those whose hunting conditions require them to spend many hours on foot with their rifles slung on their shoulders.
