But it was not made by Remington was it??
Man that is expensive, even more so than what Lapua brand ammo is.
My brother got a 700P MLR just before christmas, and a box of Lapua 250gr Scenars to try it out with. Really works nice. I haven't shot anything with a break before this rifle, but I think the break works just fine. Recoil is tamed down to roughly below that of my 308 target rifle. Mag is pretty handy too.
He is now saving to get some nightforce glass for it, and a set of farrell rings. We just set it up with a 5-15x50 3200 bushnell, just to get it out and give it a whirl. The only thing is, at $7.50 a round, we were not to keen on just blasting away, so we only shot 4 rounds
Here is a snap of some video I took while he was shooting it, so it is a little grainy. And don't mind the table shot, I had just finished bore sighting the rifle from the kitchen table. Btw the old way of bore sighting without the fancy tools works great.
And if this works, their is a bit of video. Sorry for the clanking of the lens cover from the camera, it was a miserable day but that wasn't going to stop us from having some fun

You are getting RAPED on the ammo , we sell 338 Lapua ammo for $110.00 per box for Hornady or $135.00 per box for Lapua
To get the most out of the rifle you really should consider reloading.

In a green and yellow Remington branded box.
They had Hornady but it was gone a few weeks later when I was in again.

The brass seems to be pretty good, consistant in weight and dimension, the ammo chronos very uniformly for velocity.
I can ship to Edmonton no problem

We have four of these rifles left from the latest shipment. See the dealer news forum for details. Act now as they won't last.

Rick, we were talking about WAY pricer stuff than a hundred-odd a box this afternoon!

I learned something new about these rifles today that I thought i would pass along.
The Gen 2 rifles use mags that look like AI mags but in fact are a touch longer than the AI mags, which is both good and bad. good as you can seat bullets out a tad longer, bad as standard AI mags will not fit properly which means that for now we have to pay the price Remington demands for their spare mags.
