Righto folks.
So not only with the new alpha ones coming here for nice price point( roughly $2500).
This news to boot.
Looks like the new remingtons will be top notch.

Never thought I'd say this but this news makes me want to scratch the 270 itch I've never had......
Now if only they started back up the model 7 line again:thumbsup:
There aren't any new production Remingtons here yet are there?
They'll be here next year.Quote:

It will be interesting to see the quality of the ADL and BDL models. They will face some stiff competition from Bergara for buyers wanting a well priced well made Rem 700 footprint rifle.
Fair point there.Quote:

A fair and very valid point at that.
Im very surprised at the price of the alpha stock and trigger alone would be $1500-1800 thats bloody awsome news maybe I will have another .308 on the cards
just thinking of a wasted opportunity, they have the 223 and 22-250 down the bottom of the Alpha 1 calibres.
223 has a 1-8 and the 22-25- a 1-14. really? With all the really good heavier pills out there they have kept the big brother in the varmint category
Greetings All,
Good to see the Rem 700 rifles back. By my count Remington is producing 3 bolt action CF actions so I would be surprised to see the Model 7 back any time soon, unfortunately. I am also not surprised to see the .22-250 retain its 1 in 14 twist. The 1 in 8 or 1 in 7 twist needed to stabilise todays heavy high BC .22 projectiles would likely shred some of the 55 grain projectiles at .22-250 velocities. Add to that the .22-250 case does look a bit frumpy when compared with the likes of the .22 Creedmoor. It is also interesting to see although the 7mm Rem Mag and the .243 Win have received 1 in 8 twists the .270 Win and the 7mm-08 have not. Remington have likely done their homework and are reacting to demand as they see it. People wanting fast twist rifles may want something new with it.
Regards Grandpamac.
I didn't see one that weighed under 7.25 lb?
Spotted that too.Quote:

No shortage of adjustable after market options that exempt the big green of any liability. I wonder if Timney were the liability on the two models that use their triggers?Quote:

What are you getting for that money? I'd be expecting something quite exceptional
Yea that’s more like it the alpha one looks custom quality I figured $2500 was a riddle
Watched a few videos and looks like they made lots of great little improvements more in line with modern rifles and cartridges, carbon stock and precision machined. Is it worth $4.8k? Not sure I guess it is if people are willing to pay that. Time will tell.

Its built to budget I suspect. To keep anything to a price point, you have to make choices in functionality. Given the trigger history Remington had, this is a good decision for the US market (the land of litigation).
