Looks like Remington has a lot in store for 2007:
Introduction of a new cartridge, the .17 Fireball. This .17 Mach IV based hotrod rendition of the .221 Fireball(shortened .222 Remington) shoots a .17cal 20gr Accutip-V bullet at 4000fps. The new round is available in the 700 CD SF, 700 SPS, 700 SPS Varmint, 700 VSF, and Model 7 CDL. I don't know why in the world they don't offer the LV SF, the obvious rifle for that caliber..
Speaking of the Model 700..select model 700s feature a new trigger, the X-Mark Pro trigger. Remington says up to 40% out of the box pull weight reduction and 100% adjustability. Remington offers no less than 19 different models of the 700 available in a total of 29 different chamberings from the .17 Hornet to the .375 Remington Ultra Mag.
But that's not ALL the chamberings from Remington. The Model 7 offers 4 MORE chamberings and the and the new 798/799s offer 4 MORE chamberings including the .458 Winchester Mag. That's THIRTY-SEVEN(if my math is correct!) different centerfire cartridges from one rifle maker. Talk about something for EVERYONE! Does ANY non-custom rifle maker offer more?
I'm thinking I'll be giving Big Green some business in the very near future!
