History
Comapny 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 Bergstutzen. 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.

All current models feature a quick barrel change system requiring only a hex key, making them modular firearms.
