Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion – the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me – from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.

I have a Marlin X7S in .308. Its basically a Savage clone(floating bolt head, barrel nut, accutrigger), that makes Savage so accurate. When Remington went bankrupt and sold Marlin to Ruger, they kept the Marlin action and named it the Rem. 783. Its cheaper to build than the 700 but just as accurate.👍🤩 We love you Ron.

Handled an Alpha in 6.5 CM recently. Not an ELR setup, nor a mountain lightweight, but a sensible general purpose setup, with the feel of a custom build. Action was tight, yet very smooth. I think all it really shares with a 700 is the stock inlet, and that's not even quite the same as the magazine is longer front to back. Different enough I think they should've dropped the "700" part of the name to avoid confusion.

When I purchased a bolt rifle I purchased a “budget” Weatherby in .308 specifically because it was built in Japan using their steel. Not sorry.

Guess I've gotten lucky & never had a bad 700

[shtidk]

do you plan on reviewing one for your self

[turkeyman]

So when will it be released? I want to see one before I jump on the bandwagon. I love my 700s but I am actually considering another brand depending upon on caliber choice.

[chrisdalton]

I'm a model 70 man but I love the model 7 in 7mm08

[sergeantdwz]

For 1700$ i can get almost 2 bergaras that ill bet my last cent will be better rifles in every category

[bradwalsh]

I only buy older Swedish mausers. Uncompromised top of the line quality, performance and reliability

[shamm]

I wished I could buy the action and do a build from there.

Thank you sooo much Ron for this information I sold my old270 and didn't want to buy the newer model just from feeling of them in the store!!! So Alpha 1 huh?? I'm going to take your word on this one!!! Please don't dissipoint me!!!😂

[berryrosson]

I will never buy another Remington I bought A887 Nitro mag 12 gauge shotgun it broke Remington said because they went through bankruptcy they're no longer responsible nor will sell me parts So goodbye Remington

The biggest 700 Remington problem is the stupid non locking bolt. I'm tired of my bolt opening on hip. It ejects a $4.00 round when it opens. I love Remington but go back to the old locking bolt.

[jimscallen]

Would you buy a new Remington 700 rite now. Or wait a few years.

[armadillo]

Hope they made the dang bolt lock geese. Drives me crazy

[BiffTannen]

I was interested in buying a 700 for my young son, until I saw the price. That's asking a lot from a fire arms company who's trying to crawl its way out of the mud

[stevegodfrey]

No thanks Win Mod 70 works perfectly for Me !

[charliebilicki]

The old 700 didn't need any improvement

[richardhurlock]

It's what happens when bean counters by a arms company. 😢

[thomasrudolph]

I bought 2 in the past. The tolerances were so terrible I sold both and decided to never buy one again.
