| I saw and handled one at a shop near Warrenton, VA last week. I beleive it will be a popular addition to Remingtons line-up! The rifle should make an excellent walking varminter. Not a pencil bbarrel, not a varmint barrel, just somewhere in the middle with what appears to be a good synthetic stock. They'll probably shoot ok too, since it's hard to make a poor shooting 223 or 22-250! If it was available in the .204 chambering, I would own one when first available!! GHD |

| A shooting friend of mine has one (.223), and is in the process of wringing it out. So far it looks like it is going to be a shooter. He is getting five shot groups in the high .4's to low .6's with several different bullet and powder combinations. They are a good looking, nice handling rifle. Should be a winner for a factory walking varmint rifle.

| I saw one in .22-250 before Christmas and if I'd had the extra $850 in my pocket I would have bought it. This one had a bipod mounted (it was new though) and was at a kind of expensive shop so I guess you could find one a little cheaper. |

| Yea I wont one real bad. How about Remington chamber it in the 6.8 Rem SPC it would make a cool target, varmint and deer rifle.
.270 caliber 90 gr. hollow point at around 3,000 fps. for targets and varmints.
110 gr. at around 2,800 fps for deer. |

| We had one in our shop in 223. We had to send it back due to a cracked stock. I'm hoping that was a fluke.
