MADDOG700 Titianum Problem.
I was getting ready to order my 700 Titanium in 30-06, when I herd that there was problems with the action as far as galling. Is there any truth in this? Or is this some myth? Please respond so I can make my decision, I want one real bad. Also does the titanium have the same quality to weather as stainless?. Thanks MD

<Bill>Madog, I have one and haven't noticed this. Accuracy is superb.
This is a photo from the first time I shot my gun, not bad for zero load development. the first three rounds from each of two loads are circled, range 100 yards.

<Ross Spagrud>Completely false!! We have produced
more Titanium actions than anybody and
we have NEVER had one gall.
I have found 17-4 sts to be more prone
to galling than anything else I have
ever worked with.
This myth has been around for years and
we were getting very tired of dealing
with it.
Buy away!!
