I doubt it, I don't think anything has come out of the Ilion plant since they went under.

Pop a Midol and hunker down. Things aren't moving very fast or that matter haven't for some time now . The restructuring and then fabrication then distribution is going to take time . But you never know maybe there were some that never got out for shipping they may pop up in small batches. I did read that Rem did liquidate pallets of current stocks befor they chapter out .
 
From what I have read when the bankruptcy happened there were pallets of them ready to be shipped.

So be patient

I haven't reloaded for my 308 Win yet but from everything I've read I should be doing 2400fps with factory 150gr and max 2500fps with 150gr reloads.

I have also checked into 125gr loads I should be getting max 2700fps with these.

Load up date finally (yeah ok so I have been busy) on my 12.5" barreled Rem 700 PCR short rifle in 308 Win.

Finally had time to do some reloading for this little rifle.

I got onto the Hodgdon reloading site and looked up 15" pistol barrel loads for the 308 Win.

Using Todbartel's quickload info and their data I put together some IMR3031 with 125gr Ballistic Tips and Accubond loads.

First I finally checked the velocities of the factory ammo I had been using.

Winchester 150gr Powerpoints gave me a surprisingly low velocity of 2250fps

Remington 150gr CoreLoks gave me 2370fps I had been guessing they were giving me 2400fps

47grs IMR3031 which is one grain below max load with the 125gr bullets are giving me my goal velocity of 2700fps = 4 shots gave me 2699fps - 2720fps without any pressure signs.

What surprised me the first time I took a few shots with the 125gr reloads and 150gr at the same target at 100 yards was the Winchesters @ 2250fps were hitting 6" higher on the target than the 125gr loads now that I have finally chrono'ed the loads and see that there is a 460fps velocity difference I understand the major point of impact difference.

I've now put together a few more 125gr loads with 1/2gr more powder I get 2740fps with this load and still no pressure signs.

Next loads I want to test are I have some 165gr Partitions on the shelf thinking of working up a load with them for bear defense - larger game hunting.

Just checked the Hornady ballistic chart the 125gr Accubonds @ 2720fps with a 200 yard zero is 2" high at 100 yards 1.8" high at 150 yards, 9" low @ 300 yards and 25" low at 400 yards.

Not bad for a short 29" OAL rifle combo.









edit to add ballistic chart

Red deer shooting center is getting a handful of these from the distributor as a warehouse find apparently. Got my name on one! Wahoo!

Unfortunately that means the BCL mrx bison has to go as I am on a limited budget with my baby coming in a couple of months. I have really been enjoying it, but .308 is my fav caliber and much more versatile, albeit more expensive to shoot. I've got a lot of reloading components stashed away for 308 though.

So excited! :D

Od live to know how this happened. We have our on order with the official distributors for 18 months.
Gray market seems strong in canada this year.
I did not know they were back in production
 
what are guys using for muzzle devices on these? Fee like a brake is in order but will be mega obnoxious.

Helping a friend set theirs up, What hight optics rings are y’all using any recommendations for muzzle device ?

Depends on your bone structure and scope objective diameter. Med rings will fit most optics. Go for a linear compensator with this. A muzzle brake will murder your hearing and everyone around you.
