Some nice features, but most complaints about the 700 could’ve been solved with:
1) Better quality control. 2) Weld/screw on bolt handle 3) Changed/improved extractor 4) License a Timney/Triggertech trigger.
Of course, none of that would’ve created the same “buzz” as a new rifle..

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

people complained about the old remington ....now they make improvements and people complain about the new one
that ag stock looks pretty much like every other fiberglass stock to me they do make some other models that are pretty ugly so agree with that I never had any issues with a Remington 700 and I've had a bunch of them. 19 to be exact. Never had an AD, never had a bolt handle fall off, accuracy was always acceptable. This plus 10 as usual Ky221 is on the money all my 700's have their factory triggers and are maintained correctly. Never had a 700 AD, or a bolt handle that fell off and only 1 extractor replacement in thousands of rounds fired. I figure if you don't like the 700 go buy something else instead of bitching about it, that way there will be more for the rest of us...mb

Never had an AD, never had a bolt handle fall off, accuracy was always acceptable. I’ve had a few Rem 700’s and the only one that really has issues is the 300 WSM, and 700’s and WSM’s are k own to have issues. My .300 WM had feeding issues as I followed the book on case capacity it said 3 in the magazine (blind mag) and one in the chamber. It wouldn’t feed for crap so I called Remington and they sent me all new internal mag parts, still no fix. Talked to someone that had an old wood stock ADL and they said mag capacity was 2, I went to 2 in the mag and never another issue. Maybe a typo in the manual, who knows. Oh the trigger on the 300 WSM also broke, so it got a new Timney.

no i have never been one to worry if people liked what i liked or not....
I just found it odd that all of the improvements they made which basically every aftermarket action costing a thousand dollars has today and the only thing you could find to like was the side bolt release....and the other guy critisized it because it didnt have a fieldcraft taper barrel on ...I didnt even hear what the taper was on the rifle....
anyway like what you like use what you want ......enjoy

Appears they’ve gotten a lot of things right on that one.
I hope they sell a pant load of them.

Sounds like Remington is at least listening. Wonder if the steel is SS?
Now with even more aplomb

The only .223 I found listed still had the 1/12 twist. Say it ain't so.

kwg Who knows? I found a new Remington SPS listed on a website as a 1:9 twist .30-06, another website has It as a 1:10 twist, I’m pretty sure it’s a 1:10 twist.

The gun looks good to me. I don’t have a need or even want for one but nice gun none the less.
The flutes will make it a pass for some wanting to use a suppressor. Seekins done the same thing. Few of us will agree on barrel length but at least with a regular barrel it can be cut and threaded where you wish.

We share similar perspectives on this, though I assume they'll offer a couple of the more popular chamberings in multiple barrel lengths.

Any rumors on release date? I can't find any official website related to the A1 yet.

Has anyone seen anything on weight? Looks a little clunky in pics.
