New rifle from remington?

[99zhuggerz99]

I just got an email from Remington about a new rifle "coming soon" but left no details. anyone have any info? google search nets a bunch of ideas, but didn't know if someone on here has the low down at all?

Yeah I just got that email too. If you look close on the image it states 30-06, 165 gr, and show 5 shots grouped close at 100yds.

Probably a Feinstein approved single shot bolt and slide action with a barrel bent so that the rounds go no more than 2 feet in front of the shooter.

Could be something to compete with the lower cost Savage and Ruger.

Have you priced savage or ruger stuff recently?...remington is actually the least expensive of the three currently.

The ruger american, savage axis, and rem 770 excluded....theyre all about the same price...with the ruger being highest by a small amount.

God bless

I just read about it in the new G&A issue I received yesterday. All it said was something new and it would be announced Jan. 1st.

From the article. "For those shooters looking for an exciting combination of accuracy. And velocity in a low recoil package, let's just say that you won't be disappointed."
".....you will be reading about a review about the new cartridge/rifle combo in an upcoming issue."

Picked up the rem 770 .308 not the smoothest bolt action out the box but I still have break in time to go.

Prediction

Bearing in mind the rumor that Remington was going to stop production of ammo, brass, and rifles in .17 Fireball, I predict a 700 clone with a tupperware stock and a crummy trigger chambered for the new .17 Hornady Hornet. Savage has catalogued a rifle for the .17 HH for a couple of months and Match Grade Machine has been chambering, and rechambering, Contender barrels for it since the ammo hit the market.

Two things will keep me away if that's what it is. It will say Remington somewhere on the gun and I am too deeply invested in the .17 Fireball to abandon it.

Is the .17 HH a rimfire? I read somewhere that Remington is introducing a new rimfire cartridge at the shot show.

Remington just put an ad up for it on their Facebook. No picture of it yet though.

Well since the target they show says the bullet is 165gns I don't think that is correct.

I just noticed now, to the right of the target it says 30-06. So I'm gonna guess an entry level bolt-action platform. Maybe to replace the 770 (hopefully).

The Feinstein model has the muzzle directly over the recoil pad.

I'm kind of disappointed in the decision Remington made to go with another price point rifle. I was hoping for 700 with DM on all styles or SOMETHING. I hate Cheap looking rifles. Unfortunately, this doesn't look to be much different than the 770.

good article about the 783 from American Rifleman

hard to beat rem if your thinking of upgrading to a match barrel and better stock. Sooooo many custom parts for the rem 700

just finish building a rem 700 in 300 wsm with a shilen match barrel, bell and clarson stock, CDI percision drop bottom mag. sweat
