Looks interesting!

MD has a short piece in Sports Afield about them.

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

But you can always just go on Gunbroker and source a sweet Savage 110 with hardwood stock and no-name 3-9x32mm optic.

I have not seen or heard a price I'm sure it's in the Bergara range since seems similarly built.

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.

I loved going in there back in the early 90's, it was a great store.

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?

Bud has the 870 Fieldmaster.

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.

It's an easy assumption that I made my very last Remington purchase a couple decades ago.....
