[QUOTE="re5513, post: 149360, member: 6239"] I just received my M700 CDL Limitd Edition in .17 Rem Fireball on Tuesday of this week. Looks like it was manufactured in January, just prior to SHOT. The rifle is beautifully finished. I will likely restock the barreled action for use in the field as the CDL stock is quite a nice piece of American walnut. Shooting accessories for the rifle will arrive early next week. While I did order a few boxes of Remington Factory ammo for breakin, bulk .17 fireball brass is as yet unavailable forcing the need to reform cases from the .221 Fireball parent. Also, while almost everyone lists dies for the new .17 Fireball, I can't find anyone who has inventory on hand. RCBS is likely closest to shipping as backorders for these are beign accepted by Midway. The new Remington CDL has a fluted stainless barrel 24" long that measures .650" at the muzzle. I took a look at the new Remington X-MARK PRO trigger that is a standard feature of this rifle. While it is better than the standard Remington trigger I was not overly impressed. The screw adjustments remain though the screws themselves have been changed to allen type screws (instead of slotted screws). Adusting the trigger for pull weight was pretty easy. I'll still likely put in a new pull weight spring on the trigger. It is fairly crisp from the factory but is also quite heavy. I'll probably play with it some more once I get the rifle broken in. It also seems that not all of the screws use the same size of allen wrench. I ended up with a bit too much overtravel for my liking so I need to find a smaller wrench to adjust that screw. Seer engagement seemed pretty good so I didn't touch that one. re5513 [/QUOTE]
