[remington jim]

Very conservative with their clambering options.

Have to start somewhere I guess. - dan

 

[Demonical]

This rifle doesn't deserve to be called a Model 700. Come up with a new designation ffs...

I agree with what Hitzy said.

This rifle has zero appeal to me.

Yea I guess with the most popular in SALES .RJ

The 3rd ring is still there in way of the lug raceways.The extractor is in the lug and backed up by steel. Also big plus the action is no longer too short, who will need the creeds. 243 and 260 it was even too short for the 308. Also the action is a cylinder not cut down at the back. And the goofy bolt release is changed.And a good trigger. Way better I think

 

[Demonical]

The model 700 had a good trigger. They just needed proper adjustment!

 

[bovine]

I really like this rifle. Like mentioned before I’d like to see it in more
Calibers . 338win mag or 6.5 prc

7mm PRC? ��

Likely, yes. Need commercial success to build on. The first 700 didnt arrive chambered for everything under the sun, either. - dan

Guess so but it's like looking at a catalog from the '80's.

I'm one of those weird people that prefer the old standard cartridges> which would be .270Win, .308Win, .30-06, .338WM, .375H&H.

Recognizing that at one time each of the above were also ground-breaking 'revolutionary' for their time type cartridges.

But you put a good rifle in any of those standard cartridges and it will appeal to the bloke that just wants to visit the local gun store to buy ammo over the counter.

And basically anybody so inclined (as a lot of GunNutz on here are), can buy one of these plain-Janes and re-chamber, re-barrel etc... to get some of the '###ier' cartridges.

Do you sell more rifles in existing, popular chamberings? Or in new chamberings? What sells more new rifles? Right now, ammo availability is a factor. Buy something odd, and there might be just one available cartridge in stock, or none. I thought 300wsm was popular, but for the last year, there has only been 1 or 2 offerings of ammo at Cabelas.

 

[Demonical]

None of this stuff is an obstacle to the seasoned hardcore handloader, but neither is doing the custom barrel swaps, chamber reaming etc...

 

[7mag]

I would love to try one in 7rem mag! Or even 300win! Not a bad looking remington!

Yea For Sure Scotty but I don’t like the Weight ? There Heavy and I would like mine in 280 AI with a 1-8 twist . JMT. RJ

This will up the price of older (actual ) 700s.

 

[ShrtRnd]

Hmm.. maybe I will have to keep my low rnd SA 700 after all…

Ya know, just in case they reach the level of absurdity used Marlin 45/70s
