The Ultimate Sheep Rifle.

What Remington should do is:
A) Offer the Ti action on its own.
B) Offer the Ti action with SA and LA chamberings, mountain contour barrels and a stock that doesn't weigh a tonne, like the B&C on the old Alaskan.
The 700 action is popular for a reason, and is probably solely responsible for Remington staying afloat with the poor QC we have seen in the last 15 years. Give us options in a lightweight rifle we want! The Mountain SS is a good start, just the B&C stock is too heavy!

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the design of Remington cartridges, quite the opposite. They make great cartridges. But why aren't they on the shelves of every Canadian Tire? The answer is that the marketing department hasn't convinced enough shooters of the usefulness of them. They also do a very poor job of supporting their own products. How many of the Rem cartridges that I listed can you buy a 700 in? Does Remington even licence the ammo for their own designs? I just feel that they get an idea, run balls to the wall with it for 2 years and then think of something else shiny to pursue. This "sheep rifle" is just an experiment. If it is a great success they'll make deals with the component suppliers to reduce cost, they'll mass produce them by cutting corners in manufacturing and quality control and the end product will likely be another POS. Everyone that buys one will make mods to it anyways.

Remington are geniuses for bringing this out and even if you think the price is outrageous it doesn't even matter because all 100 of them are probably already sold. They're charging 6k US for a gun that can be put together by a gunsmith for much cheaper. Kind of like a few long range hunting shows are building and SELLING 10k$ long range setups that would cost half that to build. The reality is a very large majority of the hunting world has no interest in putting all the components together and finding and gunsmith. Then getting the gun and doing months of load development to have a shooter. They want to buy a gun off the shelf and ammo off the shelf and go hunting, even if it does cost double that it should. They simply don't care. Very smart marketing, grab the cash and move on to the next fad, it's the world we live in.

They priced this rifle the same way Kuiu prices many of its outside sourced products. The scarpa boots they sell were $150 cheaper a pair before they partnered with Kuiu. No different for the rifle.

I simply upload my photos to a private album on facebook then copy and paste it to the little tree in the picture frame option in the quick reply editing bar above.

I put a space in the link to make it not work but that's what it will look like if you did it correctly.
and here is that image.
You honestly don't need a photo sharing website to post photos on CGN. You just need the photos code to post it.
