Thread: Remington Alpha 1 ,who has seen one ,got one?

As the title suggests ,has anyone used one and are they better now they have changed ownership? Just curious to see if Remington are still worth considering these days .

Yes I had one in my hands. It is how a proper rifle should be built. The bolt with its 1/4 turn firing pin disassembly is an improvement .
I don’t like how the for end tip finishes on the stock , but that is purely cosmetic.

They carry an impressive price tag dont they?

Whats a proper price tag? are we talking Sako expensive ? Wonder how they shoot ?

Depends which sako but don’t quote me on that because I haven’t actually seen one for sale to look at the tag I just remember googling them when they first came about I belive the come factory in a ag carbon stock and timney trigger I imagen they shoot very well most rifles do now days I remember they were surprisingly heavy though

Yep not that light. But a standard Sako finnlite is not much lighter either despite its name.
And yes I believe the pricing is the issue. They are not cheap once they arrive here.

Their about $4,500. The sako 90s are in the 6k bracket.

Like the op I'd love to just pick one up and have a fondle.

For the money i'd rather buy a Fierce or a Christensen, love remmys but to me its overpriced and is only what you normally do to a remmy anyway.
