The titanium will look much much better when given a blast of baking soda. It turns a nice dark gray.

I'd hate to see what the cost of them is !!! LOL

What is the big advantage of those actions apart from weight saving ?

Don't you love the beautiful blue cocking piece?

They are also much more corrosion resistant than the usual stainless steels used in firearms.

I've not had a problem with corrosion even with my CM rifles. You just need to take care of them.

Butch- Titanium is pretty pointless for most applications. It is not that much stronger or lighter. It is almost totally corrosion resistant though , for those that use the rifle for a boat oar and such,

I ride a Litespeed titanium bicycle I bought in 1997.
It's got tons of miles and looks brand new.
Having said that it was costly and the metal is flex prone.
I also ride a well made 853 air hardened steel bike and feel they are just as good maybe better. The point is STEEL is real.

With the more expensive Seven Cycles Ti frames, you can choose from different grades & construction of Ti tube and different thicknesses for different sections of frame, to alter frame behavior[level of stiffness or flex] to accomdate your particular riding style and/or riding environment.

Full titanium actions[including bolt,shroud,cockpiece,extractor, fire pin,bolt release, follower,BM, action screws] like the Satterlee Mexican Intermediate,
make for a great lightweight trim .257 rob, 7x57, [Sub 7lb sling,scoped, and loaded] with walnut stock.
at one time there was a guy who also manufactured TiQD rings.
