Karl,

You will have to let us know how she shoots, I am looking at buying a Police model very soon myself, and would love to know your impressions.

The .223 model is listed as the 7615P and there are 4 (at last count) references to it on the net. Getting hold of one is going to be tough, IMO, at least for a while as police forces line up waving money for them. I suspect that they will cost something less than 1/2-2/3 what an AR15 does and will be a lot more reliable and easier to clean. Also There are a couple of after-market bolt-on stocks that fit the 870 12 ga that will fit the 7615 that provide a dropped pistol grip giving the ergonomics of the AR15 at much less cost. BTW, for my fellow inmates of Kalifornia, it will be perfectly legal, heh, heh, heh . . .





Per Remington:



New to our line of Remington law enforcement products is the Model 7600P Patrol Rifle in .308 Win featuring an advanced sight system. Answering the call for a low profile, user-friendly patrol rifle, Remington now offers this durable, pump action rifle for standard duty use.







The Model 7600P action, slide release and safety are based on the industry standard, pump action Model 870� shotgun. The similar design and function of this patrol rifle provides a familiar feel for ease of transitional training. The Model 7600P features a quick release magazine and rotary bolt lock-up design providing fast follow-up shots, exceptional strength and reliability. The 16 �-inch carbine barrel and receiver are coated with a Parkerized finish, reducing reflections and providing abrasion and weather resistance. Completing this well-built LE tool is a matte black synthetic stock and fore-end with swivel studs and an upgraded sight system consisting of the Wilson Combat� Scattergun Technologies� TRAK-LOCK� rear ghost ring sight and AO Sight Systems� Standard Dot front sight.



Proven by numerous law enforcement departments and federal agencies, the Wilson Combat TRAK-LOCK rear sight is the standard and defines the market concept of a true ghost ring sight. Renowned for its durability in the field, the TRAK-LOCK Ghost Ring sight is the fastest, easiest-to-use shotgun sight available today. The XS Sight Systems Standard Dot provides fast front sight acquisition and the dovetail front base provides added flexibility by allowing the user to upgrade to an AO Sight Systems Standard Dot Tritium sight. This versatile front sight provides extremely fast alignment in all light conditions. Rugged and dependable, both sights withstand the National Institute of Justice drop test exposure of a direct three foot impact on concrete.



When a tactical situation requires a rifle with unquestionable reliability and durability, the Model 7600P Patrol Rifle will set a new standard. Stay tuned for the new 7615P in .223 Rem that utilizes an AR-15 magazine.< !--color-->

Guys I have a chance to fire one of the police models this coming wednesday. The guy who owns it verified everything mentioned above on positive aspects of the remington 7600, however did say some 10 shot magazines he has for it have feeding problems-relating to the magazine spring. Not sure whether these are factory issue or not though.
