Did anyone get the Remington news letter? There is a new rifle coming for 2013. If there is any info out there let me know.

Yes... I did get that email !!

And it sits there and does not load any info...here is the online version:

What do you think it will be? My guess is, butter smooth low lift bolt action, adjustable synthetic stock with full alum. bed, 22" rifle barrel med. contour, detatch box mag, new trigger with real internal adjust, built with Sako like quality, priced at $700.

As soon as I get some information I will post up about it. I hope they release it at SHOT Show in January while I am there.

It's here. Model 783. 7 for the model 700, 8 is a throwback from the 788 and 3 for 2013. It was close to my prediction but cheaper in price. MSRP $451.00. Box mag,dual alum. pillar bed stock, new bolt, 22" free float barrel with savage style barrel nut, target crown, New crossfire trigger[ looks like a savage ] adjustable down to2.5 lbs, R3 recoil pad, around 7lbs. Click on the link in Shooters post. What do you think so far? Honestly this rifle only needs to better than the savage Axis or Edge to be a hit. Also check out the American rifleman review they have shot it already.

New shooter from Winnipeg manitoba. In a few weeks I'm planning on buying my very first rifle that's larger than a 22 caliber, lol. I have committed myself to purchasing the new Remington 783, I have checked out a lot of reviews and fig a shorter stature that I am have decided to go with the .270 caliber model , from what I hear is easier on the recoil and a more straighter flight of cartridge.

My main objective for the first year is to become very proficient in target grouping and be dead on target all the time, before I ever go out to actually hunt game.

What I don't know are the different name brand of shells to get and which grain works the best to get zero target groupings. From what I understand that all guns behave differently from each manufacture loads, I understand that these barrels heat up quick so is it safe to believe that after each three shot grouping that giving the cool down period of say 15 minutes is enough to keep good results for the next groupings.?

My main objective is to dial this gun in at a 100 yards then to further my distance a step at a time. So any advice on cartridge selections would be appreciated.

Welcome...

The .270 is a great game cartridge...built on the venerable .30-03 Springfield case.

While I've seen bullet weighs range from 90 grain to 160 grains...it is best to pick the round based on the type of game you will be hunting...with the 160 grain probably being the best for caribou and moose in your neck of the woods...

Like Shooter13 said, a heavier bullet for caliber would be best for larger animals. The penetration you get out of the heavy bullet I think is what your after.

When it comes to what ammo to use, well, you will just have to buy a few different brands/weights and see what your rifle likes. I have a Model 700, in .30-06, that loves Remington ammo in 180 & 165 grain, but does not like the 150 grain. However, in Winchester ammo, it shoots the 150 grain very well. Makes no sense I know, but that seems to be how rifles work. Strange.

Well today I did it, got my bonus cheque from work and went straight to wholesale sports. And bought my new Remington 783 model in .270 caliber. I looked at others and the reach was too much, I went back to the 783 held drew it up to my face and it really felt perfect.already put my scope onto the two 700 mounts. So tmmr its sighting in the scope all the while I break in the barrel. With repeated cleaning. Bought a work station / bench rest so tmmr will be my Christmas day early.

Well today I went to the woods to break in my new rifle the 783, I had bought a work station / shooting rest put it on a portable table and put in my bore guide and gave the rifle a good clearing using a one piece rod with a .22 caliber bore brush, so I can wrap my moist patches around the tip of cleaning rod that I inserted to the end, did this about 5 times or so until the patch was coming out clean. Then a dry patch thru. So I had the cleaning system in check, I had my scope on but not dialed in, so I took a series of 5casual shots aiming at the bulls eye, and making scope adjustments,for every 5 shots I did I would do the cleaning once again. I did this set up three times.every 5 shots clean. Using winnmag at 130 gr, next I used Remington core loks, until I finally got the scope dialed in,that was shooting at the bulls eye with making ever so increments on the scope. So I placed two good shots thru a 3/8" steel plate.with the bullet going straight thru the plate, my target was only 150 feet away.
I shot two that were about three inches from each other, that was done by bench rest method, so then I got up and fired off another two rounds this time I was standing and again put two more full holes thru this heavy steel. Then I gave the rifle a good cleaning with the rod and patches,lubed up the inside of the barrel with a small amount of Remington oil.and put everything away.
I was really impressed on how well the rifle handled with that super soft recoil butt pad. I felt nothing at all. Wish the rifle came with a muzzle break, every shot made that barrel jump up. Loved the accu trigger ,so light and very predictable after awhile. Bolt was smooth the more you used it. Overall I had a very pleasant time using this high powered rifle for the very first time and especially happy I went with this new version 783 model.
