I'm new to the site, but wonder if anyone has experience of the RWS Titan range of rifles? I'm looking at the stainless/synthetic in .308 Win

I think that RWS currently only manufacture cartridges; "Titan" reminds me Voere as manufacturer....

I can confirm that the rifle is definitely manufactured by RWS. They have an excellent reputation for cartridges and air rifles, but are relative newcomers as a manufacturer of full bore rifles. So I'm not sure whether to take the plunge and get one - it looks good, but will it perform?

Titan rifles are made in Austria by Roessler waffen

Both Voere and Roessler facilities are based in Kufstein, Austria. It's probably a marketing matter, since RWS is a worldwide recognised brand. Are you Australian? I've found a couple of Aussie websites that advertize RWS Titan rifles.

The system looks uncannily like the Sig Sauer system. In concept if not in actual execution. I wonder if it is a copy of the the Sig switch barrel rifle, the SHR 970?

The Titan has been available here in New Zealand for a few years and has received favourable reviews.
The rifle looks to me to be like the little known Keplinger, which was the first rifle I saw with switch barrels and, I think, preceeded the Sig Saur.
There was a Voere Titan which was taken over by Mauser who were in turn taken over by who ever it is who own Blaser et.al. However I think that that was quite another horse

The Voere Titan had it's safety on the side, the new Titan has a shotgun style safety behind the receiver in the hand as with the Keplinger and the M77 Ruger.
The Voere was market in the USA by Klygunther(?)as the Instafire.
As above, this is quite another pony.

Thanks all - this is very helpful stuff. I'm especially interested in knowing how they perform - accuracy/reliability?

I had a good play with one in 6.5x55 recently - shot very well, very slick and well put together. Two things left me a wee bit cold. Firstly floorplate/mag well made of composite material. I don't mind plastic on rifles but the wood on this was really nice and the composite components just didn't 'mesh' with the rest of the rifle if you know what I mean - this is not a Remington SPS after all but something made in Austria. Secondly - the detachable magazine release would have to be one of the worst I have ever come across and I cant understand why this has not being picked up in the press here as they have being getting very favourable reviews. It consists of two buttons either side of the mag which can be depressed by just holding the rifle as you would if you were carrying it in one hand. As soon as I noticed that and played around with it for a bit popping the mag out with ridiculous ease, I was scratching my head wondering how this got past the design team. Might have been a one off on that rifle but for me it has consigned them to the 'look nice and shoot well but not a practical tool' basket.
