I'd say with the likes of Tikka, Howa and Bergara remington will have a uphill battle.

It would be nice to see them bring back the model 7.

I have a young lad who in coming years will need a 223 model 7 which I can also use so here's hoping remington does listen

This. I've owned three Rem 700's and now a Bergara.

It won’t be in the tikka, howa or begara price bracket with a timney trigger and an ag comp stock . Maybe around the bergara carbon jobby they do that around $4000 . Just a guess though

My Remington R5 308 is a rifle I'll never sell, bedded with a jewel trigger never let me down. Always a pleasure to shoot in the HS Precision stock.

Along with the Sendero and Police range these product lines a few years back were pretty good at the time. Firearms manufacturers lifted their game since with Bergara, Howa, Ruger etc....while Remington dropped the ball, Tikka just same consistency quality.

Use lighter weight rifles now but extra weight did use to come in handy bashing through some tight scrub at times.

Looks good alright but as said the price will be the decider.

Hope support for the Rem700 continues... have not been able to source spare extractors for mine.

Consider yourself lucky- there were -batches- with NO primary extraction

Cool to see some forward movement in design and some nice changes for sure.

Sako extractor time

Think they will go well in the states, will be a big nostalgia following in the US of the brand if the get it right as long as they are half decent. You can't really blame the engineers at Remington for the quality problems, just like any large company muppets get into management that start cutting corners trying to get larger return to shareholders forgetting what they are about. They kinda got stuck in middle of know where, not quite budget but not quality enough to charge more.

Worse thing with Remington's was their shitty triggers, Winchesters were ok.

Never, I value my right eye...

Is that really true ?
That you couldnt disassemble the Rem 700 bolt with your bare hands to clean and oil the spring and firing pin ?

Are there any other brands that say bolts will be interchangeable between different guns ?
