I just got through reading the Tactical Wepons magazine (July 2009) and it showed a new 700 rifle from Remington called the Modular Sniper Rifle (MSR). The magazine showed no price right now for the rifle. Here's what Tactical Weapons said:
Remington MSR
"Perhaps the most anticipated of oll the PSR candidates is Remington's new MSR (Modular Sniper Rifle). The MSR represents an entirely new action and chassis from this American icon. For decades the Remington 700-especially the action- has dominated the sniper landscape. Could the MSR represent the drawing of a new era for snipers everywhere? We'll have to wait and see. In the meantime here's the skinny on this bolt-action, side folding powerhouse.
Remington's new MSR is so new and so unique that the entire rifle is patent pending. Everything from the triangular-shaped three-lugged titainium action with a 60 degree bolt throw to the side folding modular stock was developed specifically for this solicitation. Perhaps the most unique to this rifle is the opperators abbility to change both barrel and calibeer. One rifle will be able to shoot .308, .300 Win Mag and .338 Lapua Mag from barrels ranging from 20 inches to 27 inches.
Other significant features include a modular forend that lets the shooter choose it's lengh, a rail system that allows numerable mounting options for any number of shooting accesories, an adjustable trigger and an AR-style pistol grip. The rifle's incredible durability and Remington's reputation for quality make this contender supremely difficult to defeat. While not immediately ready for civilian purchase, Remington may make it in the future."(www.remington.com)
