New Remington 700's

[xsn10s]

Here's a group shot from my Remarms 700 7mm RM at 550 yards shot of my pack. The ADL is in a KRG Bravo stock. 180 gr ELDM handloads.

I got an email notification this morning from Midway USA saying they had Remington 270 WSM brass in stock. I clicked on to check it out and the Midway site says Discontinued.

That's like Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown!

I think the 22-250 is a standard twist rate, not 1-8" like the .223 rem. The 243 win is 1-8" though, at least the new ones are

I didn't spend a lot of time examining the rifle. I was comparing the action as to the Mossberg & Ruger at the time. And was wanting a 223 Rem. But they didn't have it in 223. I can say I was impressed with the machining of the action compared to the others. But then it was a couple hundred dollars more. But it also had a nice wood stock BDL,. Not composite. Not sure how much of a difference if any in price it would have made w/ a synthetic. After going home. I kept thinking I should go back & buy it. But I already have a 22-250 (Savage). And I don't shoot it. And looking to buy a new/used motorcycle. 2010 Yamaha V-MAX. Talk about a rocket when it comes to motorcycles. lol

They have done the same thing to me in the past.

With some of the blunders they've made in the past, it's a wonder they can sell anything. Mostly slow twists barrels, discontinuing popular models, dropping ammo for some calibers…. The list goes on.

Yes, they have to overcome the previous screw ups.
Now that they shut down the Illion plant and relocated to Georgia(?) they have a brand new factory and a chance to become a major player again. Quality has to be no. 1 and not just talk about it.

Absolutely. Need to do a little more research before they jump.

Great to here the new 700s have a Timney trigger

They do, mine was non adjustable and like 8 pounds

Mine had the adjustment screw in the trigger adjustable from the outside. With the screw completely removed it was still about 4.5 lbs. I put a Trigger Tech in and it's perfect now.

Likewise! That was the only change I did.

This last one is consistently just barely under 5 pounds, no creep or pretravel. In the world of factory guns in the price range I payed in 2023 pesos.... not bad.

Won't be comparing it to my huber anytime soon but it's serviceable for the life this rifle will have.

Mine is the Impact Timney and measure 3lbs 12 ounces using trigger weights. It works for now and I'll wait to see if it loosens up after a couple hundred rounds. or if I come across a Walker trigger for cheap.
