Gathering parts for a 338 rum in stainless. Savage mag long action, fluted Benchmark custom finishing @ 28 inch 3/4" at muzzle... Loosing the nut, Bell&Carlson blind mag lightweight rail and deadnutz rings topped with leupold mark4 6.5-20x50. Wanting to keep it under 10#s unloaded.
Anyone ever used titanium action screws? I know it's not a big weight saver for the money but what the hell!
Just curious if anyone else had the same thoughts??

Hardly worth the weight saving effort and would cost far more than standard steel screws. You list shows a nice build in the works.

That's why I plan on going with the bolts. Around $10 for a set. Ordered some titanium bar stock for a bolt handle and thought I might try making a bas too.
