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.....
