Hi John,
Remington discontinued this rifle. Don't ask me why, because they were in high demand. They have since re-introduced it as a cutom shop Remington 40X Rangemaster at more than double the price. I seriously think Remington is on drugs some days, between barrels designed by Salvadore Dali to this debacle... I just don't know.
It was an outstanding platform and with the addition of a good barrel, they make an F-Class rifle that is hard to beat.
