Stuart,
What is your finish on the Ti action? Always curious how the finish is done on dissimilar metals.

Micro-slick on the bolt, cera-kote on the receiver, barrel, bottom metal. I blued a few parts, buttplate and screws reason being coatings will change the screw index to BTDC.
The micro slick on cera-kote runs as well as the pvd coating, I can work locally with another entity on the coating work. By doing this I can deliver in person, pick up in person this means a great deal to me. Reduced shipments means less risk of loss in shipping to the east coast.

Beautiful rifle and a shooter to boot! Nothing pisses me off more than to pay top dollar for a custom rifle that won't group. That one is special!

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

That is about as good as it gets to my eye.

The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.
