Remington 700 PCR

Not helping that they aren’t offering a 6mm CM. Everything I’m watching/reading is that almost everyone one the precision circuit gave up on the 6.5 CM, in favor of the 6mm. Heck, even I just bought a 6, went from .308 & skipped the 6.5 in favor of the 6.

Big Green has been slow on the uptake for a long time. They still don’t even offer a threaded barrel on most of their rifles, for those who want to suppress or shoot big bores without dislocating their shoulders. Savage, Browing, Bergara, Tika, etc... haven’t seemed to have forgotten this (& it’s no surprise they’re selling the crap out of rifles).

The Magpul edition doesn’t chamber higher than .308. The Alaskan Wilderness rifle does go big bore I believe, and their chassis system rifle offers a brake/threaded barrel (300wm & 338 Lapua Mag). I see no other Remington rifles that are threaded, as opposed to the other manufacturers. Even their “Long Range Rifle” offers 7mm Mag and 300 Win Mag (I believe 300 RUM too) and is not threaded for a brake or can. For a rifle that’s marketed specifically for, and one that you may want to spend an entire afternoon shooting at distance, or trying multiple loads/rounds, or perhaps in competition, the thought of shooting a 300 WM more than 5 or 6 times without a brake makes me cringe.

I’m 230 lbs and have decent sized shoulders, and I can’t stand my 700 .30-06 more than 8-10 shots (which bruises me slightly I might add). For hunting, one or two shots no problem, but for extended range sessions, for target-specific guns, Big R should really offer most if not all of their models with a threaded end. Years agO almost nobody sold commerically threaded barrels, nobody used brakes, and I’m not sure suppressors were all that commonly found. Nowdays most of Remington’s competition has several models if not all of them with threaded barrels. They seem to be keeping up with shooter’s demands, not Big R. And it saddens me because I’m huge fanboy of Big R. I really want to see them get back to where they once were.
