Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington Alpha 1

Been looking at the Alpha 1.
Anyone have one that could share their thoughts on it?
Thanks

I think Mule Deer has had some experience shooting them. Ask him about them. As a writer he was invited to try them out with other writers. I remember him saying that he really liked it. I believe it was a 7 PRC

I was hoping that it would be 6.5 lbs. I’m not sure what that stock weighs, but the 7.5lb weight seems heavy. 223 1:8” is a nice feature.

I have one in .308. I like it. It’s accurate. It’s a solid rifle. It’s not too pretty, but I didn’t get it to look at. It’s one of two rifles I killed 2 deer with last fall, all the other rifles I used were one and done for the season. Not that it matters, just making conversation.

I have one in .308 but I haven’t taken it out yet. The weight is balanced and I put a lighter weight I5 Swarovski on it. Hopefully it’s a shooter.

I picked up and handled 2 in 6.5Creed and didn't like the ergos either time. It's a LOT heavier than it needs to be IMO, the weight of just the rifle is what the weight of the rifle/scope oughta be. The forearm is too deep for my liking and the pistol-grip is too fat for my liking. I have fairly big hands, but, I like a much slimmer profile all the way around.

Mechanically, everything looks to be a sound choice. So, if the ergos appeal to you, the rifle will likely make you very happy.

Seems high for what it is. It’s not esthetically pleasing.

Appreciate the responses, thanks all.
