Has anyone seen actual priceing on these? When are they going to be available?

 

[todbartell]

I'd guesstimate later in 2006, and they have US MSRP, which is usually a bit more than what Russells or Wholesale sell rifles for in Canadian funds

I like these little rifles. Finally Remington gets with the program with a controled round feed varmit rifle. I mean are you going to face a charging goffer with a push feed? I don't think so.

Perfect for a hornet.

The latest incarnation of the ZCZ M85 Mini Mauser.

I was hoping for an American classic stock. Just think a Monte Carlo spoils the lines.

Has anyone ever seen one of the Mini Mausers with a non-rotating long extractor and CRF? I haven't. Maybe Remington had them redesigned. In their page on the 798 they use the term "square bridge" and then go on to say that the rifle uses standard Mauser scope bases. Well, you can have a double square bridge Mauser, or you can have an action that accepts standard bases, but you can't have both at the same time.

A CRF Hornet...perfect for gopher defense where a double feed would be lethal!

Too short? I was thinking at LEAST 2" too long!

 

[dan belisle]

I think I see my next K Hornet, as for the monte carlo stock, a plane and some sandpaper takes care of that. - dan

I would be nice if that 7.62x39 came with a .308" bore like the Rugers. I think that would be a great seller.
