[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2859602, member: 27307"] Remember the feeding frenzy when Remington introduced their M700 Mountain Rifle? [ATTACH type="full"]477743[/ATTACH] Remington Model 700 Mountain SS [B]Need to know:[/B] [LIST] [*]Name: Model 700 Mountain SS [*]Manufacturer: Remington Arms [*]Type: Bolt-action Sporter in stainless steel [*]Barrel length: 22in [*]Overall length: 41.25in [*]Calibre: Various. 25-06 Rem to .308 Win [*]Stock: Bell & Carlson synthetic [*][B][B]Weight: 6.2lb[/B][/B] [*]Trigger: X-Mark Pro externally adjustable single-stage [*]Magazine: Floor-plate, four shot [/LIST] [B]Barrelled action:[/B] Keeping to the Mountain's lightweight theme, the barrel is stainless steel for anything the environment can throw at it. [I][U]It is profiled to a No2 style[/U][/I] to reduce weight and shortened to 22in. This means a muzzle diameter of 0.568in with a 14/1mm thread, while the outside diameter (OD) at the fore-end is 0.578in with a starting OD of 1.2in at the receiver — so a very pronounced decrease in rifle barrel diameter to reduce weight overall. [B]Tested:[/B] [LIST] [*]I shot six to seven rounds before the point of impact wandered, so in any real hunting situation that's not going to be a problem. [*]The Remington 140-gr Core-Lokt rounds shot 2,757fps for 2,364ft/lb energy, with three-shot groups hovering around the 1in to 1.25in mark. The heavier Federal 150-gr loads produced 1.25in groups at 100 yards and 2,655fps for 2,348ft/lb energy. [/LIST] This article is from 2019 although the actual rifle release is from 25 years ago.
