Now that's a little more like it. I haven't seen one locally but like the styling and features. Street price of maybe 750. Might give Ruger a little competition?

I think the enhanced will help the brand quite a bit.

The new Remington, including this model just don't do it for me.

Has FO Front sight, 25 LPI rear serrations, front serrations, notched Kensight-style rear with no dots, supposedly only "non-stress" parts are MIM while the rest are forged, whatever that means. Ext. mag release and TS, beveled magwell and comes with 3 8-Round magazines. Seems well thought out.

Supposedly test fired 14 rounds before leaving the factory and accuracy std is 3.5 in @ 25 yards.

Remington, Ruger, meh.

Not sure if frame is cast or not.

 

[Quack]

It's cast.

 

[duketbrd88]

It's cast.

The standard R1 isn't cast is it? The one that you have, I like that one it just looks old school cool.

 

[Quack]

Yep, its cast too. AFAIK, all remington frames are cast.

I think the fiber optic front sight will draw some customers at the local shops who aren't familiar with them.

It's going to give the RO a run. But still, I would get the RO over this.

 

[rsxr22]

It shouldnt unless they improved on the ones from SHOT. But then again, I didnt think there was anything special about the R1 either, but people are always buying them.

 

[Blayglock]

Anyone else? I'm interested in these actually.

It looks like a Kimber.

We have one at the local gun shop here. I personally don't care for its looks. But I handled in anyways and looked it over. The barrel throating and feed ramp polishing look quite good on it. I don't think the website picture does its finish any justice, because in the shop, the finish looked terrible to me.

Thanks AJ.

Sorry, but IMHO the Springfied Range Officer is a better gun.
