Not to sound negative because it’s by far the nicest list of parts and options I’ve seen on a Remington, but these threaded barrels flutted and carbon fiber are a swing and a miss. The 22”-24” barrel guys do not want a suppressor and will not want a threaded barrel. Those who want a threaded barrel for a suppressor do not want a 22”-24” barrel. I don’t know or care what length people want who use a brake….grin?
Very nice list of components and features though. Maybe when they get up and going they could give two offerings like Barrett did. It was pretty clear they were shooters. Offer a longer barrel and a 18” threaded barrel. Always thread the barrel. Every bolt gun I have has needed to be threaded. Suppressors are way more common these days

i use to love this time of year ....i would go to Hendershots in Hancock Maryland and gather up the new catalogues and look at the new models coming out....good luck with that in recent years ....not much to look forward to and it wont make it to market in two years I loved going in there back in the early 90's, it was a great store. Never been! Still a good store?

I purchased a 700 SPS Varmint recently. Metal work and finish are much better than the older 700s. I have also saw some new 870 Filedmasters, which replaced the express models. Very big improvements there as well. Excellent finish and nice walnut for the price. Also have what appears to me to be Decelerator pads with the Remington logo.

If they make it in an 8 twist 243, I'll buy one. Bet they are good rifles.
