2008 Rem 700 Triangle barrel Pic's & spec's

next year it will be a square barrel- and the following a rectangle- you have to collect the whole set to be a true sniper.
 
hmmm looks like remington finally stopped cutting corners and build a quality rifle.......:slap:

I wonder if the chamber takes three sided brass, now that would be cool having a mini toblerone travelling at 2600 fts.........:cool:
 
BTW...about chambers .....
WSS in Calgary sold 5 VTRs...and three were brought back....because of rough chamber....that I was told in the store...

LOL!


as a Remington fan, all ill say about these is that im suprised at all the fuss over what is basically just 3 flutes on a barrel... from peoples reactions youd think they invented something monumental or ground-breaking :rolleyes:

flutes never really appealed to me, and neither does this VTR despite all the clever marketing.
 
as quoted in Murfs link...

"It was also an an expensive firearm. A Whitworth rifle, with a Davidson scope and 1000 bullets, sold for approxamately $1000 new, in 1860. "

WOW...suddenly the DSR-1 seems affordable!

Very interesting read though, had no idea what the whitworth rifle really was until now!

It is called marketing ... it's a bit of a model change ...

Winchester did it with the short mags ...

They do it with cars all the time...

No big deal.

most common sense reply on these matters I've seen in ages...

I can't believe how worked up some guys get over new rifles and cartridges......and how they all turn into experts overnight....if we didn't have progress in industry we'd all be drving Model T's...OK, maybe Model A's and carrying '94 Winchesters.....in 32-40....OK,. maybe 30-30....

I like to see any company push the limits on what they think they can design and sell....keeps it interesting....
 
oh come on, 3 flutes is 'pushing the limits'? :)

most of the firearms we buy havent seen any 'innovation' in 50-100 years.

seriously, the most highly regarded modern firearms are based on an action that was designed in the 1800s! what a joke!

all we get every year by way of 'innovation' are new cartridges with nearly identical ballistics to 5 other previous cartridges, and slight reconfigurations of guns that have barely changed since the 40s-60s. oh, and even more rifles in plastic stocks - look theyre even two-toned now! thats innovation! :)

Now if the end of the barrel was pointed, and it doubled as a bayonet, it would truly be tactical. I'd definately need one for those charging legions of groundhogs. Fughgley. (I mean so bad, fuggly needs to be misspelled)

I agree with you 100% and I'd even say the same thing about most ammo too. Leeper said that you don't need to use any design less than 100 years old to do anything really well even today.
