The "Remington" 50 cal rifle.
See previous comments. This started as the Cobb Manufacturing BA50. Bushmaster bought out Cobb specifically for the design of the rifle. Bushmaster then started manufacturing it under their name. Now, since Bushmaster has folded, Remington is simply slapping their name onto the rifle, but honoring the or original Cobb design by using a Lothar Walther blank for the barrel.
It is not a new rifle at all. It is a proven design.
It looks like the receiver and rear were designed by a different group than did the barrel and front end design. They appear to have never talked until the production started.
There’s no production on the rifle. It is “made to order”.
Speaks volumes for Rem t dump $$$$ i something and not have a sustainment plan for it IOT Creat continuous revenue for the company.
It’s absolutely crazy!

Not to call nobody out

says the rifle shot well while being made by Bushmaster and now has been improved/replaced by Remington. That fact, along with the $11,000 price difference in this and a Barrett should , and I'd be willing to bet (if i was a betting man haha) will make for some fine sales numbers. I love everything about Barrett but TheyHigh RealHigh . I've heard a lot of smack about Remington and that's cool but I have 4 of their rifles , 2 of which I got $200 in after rebates. We've shot the **** out of'em with no issues , but they show could be prettier .

I keep hearing about Remington quality dropping off, been hearing it for 10 years, but I ain’t seeing it, and I see a lot of Remington rifles and shotguns in action every year.
Triggers suck and then guys jumped on that band wagon looking for every little thing that could possibly be wrong with their gun. They buy a $350 SPS and then complain about it not shooting like their buddies AI.
Yeah, I’m a remington, fanboy. What about it?? Lol

The best are the savage fanbois. Complain about remington, but completely fail to acknowledge that the entire design concept of savage bolt guns is to cut every possible step to make the cheapest costing rifle on the market
I like'em both
...... EDIT= Some of both
