I know this likely won't be for long range, and technically also is not a rifle, but it's on a Rem700 so I have to ask. Has anyone seen the news about the new Rem700 pistol? Looks like it'll be available in .308win, .300blk, and .223rem. I have zero experience with the old XP100 line of pistols but I know they were quite popular among a dedicated group of followers. I'm not sure how I feel about this in .308- seems like it'll suffer too much on velocity. The .300blk seems like a good idea for carrying around with a suppressor looking for hogs, but almost seems better served on the AR pistol platform.
What does everyone else think? Would a rebarrel be needed to another cartridge to take full advantage of the smaller size and still be somewhat practical?
