Lets hope they put the extractor in the right spot.

Can't find anything on Remington's site, but does look interesting.

331V8, had a 700 rebarreled for 300Whisper, you had to run the bolt hard to eject the spent case, else it dropped into the raceway.

Possibly closer to $700. Just a guess since the .308 model comes in around $620 and I think these will be priced higher. If the demand is there it could make them even more expensive.

Remington does.

Just curious. Thanks. </div></div>

We have changed everything to 1/7 for more stability.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: lightsareout</div><div class="ubbcode-body">what velocity would be expected out of that short barrel? </div></div>

All of the ammo has velocity specs for 16 inch barrels. About 2400 fps for 110 grain.
 
Re: Remington 700 300 BLK

Throwaway stock: Check!
Throwaway trigger: Check!

I think most would rather pay a little more for a serviceable stock and trigger. Remington should either realize that, or start selling barreled actions! CKruse

I am in the same boat as you but with people like McCourt Ammunition and Copper Creek that are on here as vendors their pricing is pretty damn good. Look them up.

Their stuff has functioned flawlessly for me, buy with confidence - and they are a Hide sponsor.

I hope it is, b/c that would be a lot better than buying an SPS 223 tactical and swapping it out with AAC's 300blackout barrel priced at $400!

But that may be a quicker option for those drooling over the rig.
 
Re: Remington 700 300 BLK

I'll be all over this. Even if the stock is a throw away, I've got enough stocks laying around that it will be much cheaper and a heck of a lot quicker than a build. Love the 1-7" twist too.

Re: Remington 700 300 BLK

Read this over at 300blktalk.com:

...Emailed Remington yesterday, got a response this morning. "Response Via Email(Danny) - 08/01/2012 10:34 AM Production of the 700 in 300 Blackout has been pushed back to the fourth quarter of this year. They should be available before the holidays. Our apologies for the delays."
 
Re: Remington 700 300 BLK

So does the 1/7 stabilize the 240gr smk better? I have a Savage built up in this configuration(w/ 1-8 twist) and it puts 240gr subs inside MOA.
 
Re: Remington 700 300 BLK

I hope they release it...many are waiting. I'm ready to buy a Stevens/Savage and rebarrel it at this point in time. Suppressor goodness awaits.
