Looks great! I have a question about the 1 in 7 twist.

How does that shoot with light stuff. My MGM barrel is 1 in 8 and shoots the light stuff just as well as my first 300 whisper from Thompson that was 1 in 10.

Is this rifle available now? Please tell me there are no feeding issues like what was experienced by early purchasers of the Micro 7.

I can feel myself reaching for my wallet.

The image is on an image shack address, curious to know from whence it originated.

A quick search of Remington's page shows nothing of this rifle, nothing when searching for "blackout" or "BLK" and nothing of this caliber/configuration under the SPS Tactical.

Looks intriguing, the 1:7 caught my attention too. Might be nothing, might be something.

I just want to know what has been done to cure the extraction problems that have plagued the remington 700 in this cartridge ???

Hopefully using a sako/ar type extractor of some sort or mabye even a ptg bolt copy, but probally nothing

The 1/7 is to give a little more stability to 220+ grain bullets.

I did a 30 round group with 1/7 and 1/8 with Remington 125 grain ammo, and there was no difference in accuracy.

The rifle has the 17 Fireball bolt guts.

If you have a Micro-7 with feeding problems, AAC would like to get you an RMA number and repair it. The problem was some of them had a double (223-like) feed ramp rather than the one large scoop 308-style feed ramp. It makes a big difference.
