What’s the price on these. Looks interesting. Especially the part about being able to use prefits with the tighter tolerances.

I'd ditch the rail and use std 2 piece base/ring setup.
Won't be shooting from the prone so don't want the scope jacked up that high.

Won't be shooting from the prone so don't want the scope jacked up that high. As long as hole spacing and receiver contours are the same. Otherwise it may be a wait.

True plus the scope pictured is using fairly tall looking rings

I might be in the minority here, but it's kind of clunky. I won't say it's ugly... it just doesn't seem a "sleek" as older 700s. (The rail and straight trigger might be throwing off the optic or it could be the very square forend tip giving it more of a "tactical" look. It could also just be the picture in the link, but the bolt jeweling/fluting kind of looks half-assed?)

8” twist on the .223, .243 and 7 mag - that and a good trigger makes them interesting….. wonder what they cost…. Or did I overlook that?

Very nice shotgun although I don't like how the way they did the top of the receiver. I don't know if that way because of the D&T or what.

I think it looks good, but it came too late for me. I’m all rifled-up, aside from “novelty” items I might run into here and there, and have everything I need to feed them, probably until the end of time, my time anyway. Can’t see any reason to add this one to the pile here, but y’all go ahead, and I’ll be interested in the results you get. Always happy to see good new stuff, regardless of the source.

I'm hoping RemArms manufacturing moving to Georgia will be a big success.

At least it doesn’t have the butt ugly bolt handle some are putting in 700’s.

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.

A stainless sps dropped in a thanksgiving price greyboe might be a better option for some? A tikka is probably more practical but I know some don’t like the tikka.

Either cut sporter barrels shorter for suppressor use, or don’t bother to thread 22-24” tubes. Double dumb.

On the length vs suppression.... I agree that a shorter barreled version should be produced for dedicated suppressor use. I'm also a fan of standard length barrels being threaded. I like having the option on regular length barrels....if I want to I can use it, if I don't a thread protector doesn't get in my way.
It is good to see some of them being twisted quicker.

If they sell well, there is likely merit in some 18" versions in 6.5, 308, and 223.
Barrels are CM or SS under that coating?

I'd like to see Remington return to her old days of glory, but I seriously doubt it will happen. Seems the majority of gun buyers these days want black plastic rifles. This newest offering from Remington seems to target that group. AFAIC it's just another plastic gun. Nothing to see here, move along. Ymmv.

Price seems a little steep but the AG stock retails for just under $700 so I guess they have to cover that expense somehow.

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.
