The company's Titan 3, 6, 16 and Alpha models feature a lock time of 1.6 milliseconds.^[1]

History[]

Company founder Erich Rößler was born in 1948 in Amstetten, Lower Austria, and started his education at the national college for handguns in Ferlach at the age of 15 years.^[2] After his education and at the age of 21 he was employed by a firearms manufacturer. In 1996 Erich started his own company where he produced custom made and small batch orders of single shot rifles, shotgun rifles and . Due to high demand Walter Rößler, the son of Erich Rößler, quickly joined the company. The company wished to develop a mass-produced high end bolt action hunting rifle, which resulted in the first prototype of the Titan 6 rifle being tested in November 2001, and the model was introduced to the international market in March 2002.^{[citation needed]}
