JRicks Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 On display at the NRA show. I see a rear sight dove-tailed into the rib! I hope to be shooting one at the Pro-Am in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRicks Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 I believe most of the common mods that people tend to do on the Tactical (besides the trendy bolt lightening cuts) are reflected to this model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinWolv Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 That sounds budget-painfully tempting. I might need some convincing though, so if I have to suffer through sample testing, I guess I could deal..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkCO Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) You'll never guess where they came up with some of the improvements. August might be a bit aggressive. I was told a number of units to be produced, and it sounds generous, but since "I'm not authorized to speak" about it officially, I won't divulge the number. The Remington engineers were very nice and really understood the whys and hows of the mods, even the second spring and the shell latch and bolt lightening issues they understood. Should be the first gun you can take out of the box and go shoot a major with no worries and no gunsmithing.

Production will most likely be after August, but I won't necessarily be shooting a production version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gun has some great improvments, I wish they would have shown a better picture! An engineer at a large firearms company who listened to the shooters for a change! It is an amazing thing.... I think everyone will find that the complaints they had with the VMT have been well taken care of with this rendition.

I think it's more likely that some engineers who are shooters and listen to other shooters were finally able to talk some marketing folks who can identify which is muzzle and which is breach that these are desired modifications.

Is it possible Robbie Johnson had any input in this SG?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 When Remington first contacted me, I asked why they were not getting input from Robbie and Strader. The answer was interesting to say the least, but as far as I understood, they had not been successful in their prior attempts to talk to Robbie.
