Thread: Remington 700 update

Greetings All,
Good to see the Rem 700 rifles back. By my count Remington is producing 3 bolt action CF actions so I would be surprised to see the Model 7 back any time soon, unfortunately. I am also not surprised to see the .22-250 retain its 1 in 14 twist. The 1 in 8 or 1 in 7 twist needed to stabilise todays heavy high BC .22 projectiles would likely shred some of the 55 grain projectiles at .22-250 velocities. Add to that the .22-250 case does look a bit frumpy when compared with the likes of the .22 Creedmoor. It is also interesting to see although the 7mm Rem Mag and the .243 Win have received 1 in 8 twists the .270 Win and the 7mm-08 have not. Remington have likely done their homework and are reacting to demand as they see it. People wanting fast twist rifles may want something new with it.
Regards Grandpamac.
