Remington's new pistol. Not seeing the point.

[11Charlie]

Help me out guys but I'm not seeing the point in this thing. Its made in several calibers and if you had the extra scratch maybe its enticing but to me its more whats the point!!! What do you think?

Striving for CA and MA compliance?!?!?

AR pistols are all the rage right now. It would be great if it were a semi auto. Maybe trying to get around some laws? I know that I won't be buyin 1.

 

[CLee0507]

That is funny.

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in that development team room.....

 

[edslhead]

Theres a lot of guns out there look like their made just for fun .

 

[WillametteWill]

Just confirming this wasn't and April 1st release?

Actually, I get it and to each their own. Bolt action long range pistols are not new, but the tactical version just does seem unusual to me. For every peg, there is a appropriate hole.

Looks to me like they r trying to produce a hunting gun that is compact. There are probably 1000 guns I would rather have before this one personally. I bet it will be a low seller.

Yeaaaaah. Got me there. Bolt-action AR-pattern pistol without the nice stock to help leverage working the bolt and a form factor that says Oops I grabbed the wrong gun when I heard something go bump in the night? Nope.

I very much see the point.

And it's kind've like the Harley thing...Some of us get it, and some folks don't. And that's quite okay.

I've shot long range pistols in both center fire and rimfire chamberings. With a bi-pod and a folding table, I've got an instant and easy bench rest setup capable of some pretty remarkable accuracy.

In the old days, it was Contenders and XP-100's. Later, it's Savage's and now this Remington.

I particularly like the idea of a free floated barrel protected by a shroud. Form follows function.

Are there other guns that could do the same thing, and maybe even do it better? You betcha. But if I had no interest in shooting quite varied types of guns, I could get by with 4 or 5 guns and never have to buy another.

Bench rest and/or silhouette pistols are not for everybody.

And it seems folks are less into hunting. For sage rats and rock chucks, bench pistols in .223 can be pretty rewarding.

Since they have these in .300BLK for hogs, why not make it in other calibers too.
I'd own one for giggles

LOL cool toy.

In a subsonic chambering with an SBR stamp, sure. Not 223.

Yes, .223 is kinda pointless in something like this.

 

[CountryGent]

The XP-100 was used in silhouette shooting for a very long time. It looks to be in the vein of pistol.

 

[ar addict]

300 blk plus stamp equals maybe fun sbr

A few grains of pistol powder makes subsonic .223. it won't cycle in a semi, but this, it's moot. I still don't want one.

 

[11Charlie]

For the price point I'm not seeing it at all!!! If I want a bolt gun I'm buying a bolt gun. If I want a pistol I'm building a semi auto.

 

[OldTengu]

I could see it being used for hunting in larger bore. Less cumbersome than a rifle.

I thought about that but with the short barrel your not getting max velocity which only makes for a good brush gun. Maybe in 300 blk but oh hell I'm still not seeing it

If I had the money to just spend on this I can think of other things I would buy or build. If you get one let me know maybe shooting yours will change my mind!!
