Like the title says...

Have any Remington 783 Heavy Barrel FDE in .300 Blackout made it yet? If so can you point to a retailer?

Thanks.
 
I’ve been looking at these with curiosity as well.

As requested above any rough idea on ETA?

if you like big bullets then go big. 300 blk big?
its is meant for short range suppressed. it doesnt make sense in a bolt action.... but buy it if you want it!

Not all guns always make sense, but I also want a bolt gun in .300 blackout. Super cheap to load for, probably very little recoil and get to watch the bullets hit the target and have some thump when they get there.

Make brass from .223 and load heavy cast flat nose for fun for... almost the same price as .22 ammo? I’m stockpiling .22lr ammo, but I find casting and powder coating for a couple of my guns a lot of fun. If I just bought factory ammo, there’s not a chance I would want one of these. But then I’d probably own less guns too.

I just reloaded 500 subsonic using free 223 brass and cast wheel weights and powder coating them. Total cost was just under $40

Thats the draw for me.

I've been loading up 165 grain subsonic for my .308 but I'm limited by the 1:10 barrel twist. The 783 in 300 Blackout has a 1:7 barrel twist which means I'll be able to use 245 grain bullets. I can also resize free brass.

I had great success with 208 gr amax loaded subsonic in my 308 with a 10 twist. Shot it out to 200 with no issues. Even loaded them backwards and they shot fantastic. Weird looking but hit hard
 
I don't understand everyone's affection for these small, compact HEAVY bolt action rifles. I wish someone would come out with lighter options (yes, i know, Ruger American) or a single shot.
 
My local gun store told me they aren’t even on the order form for next year.. You can buy this rifle in a few calibres at Cabela’s, so the .300 should be available.

Edit:

I know everyone wants a .223, .308 or a 6.5 Jenner, but some of us have enough guns that we want to play with something odd, like powder coating cast 240’s for the little .300.
