Remington Arms is of course, at its core, a bolt-action rifle company, so this program will play to that core strength.

      Unless you graduated sniper school or are active/reserves I wouldn't get your hopes up. Rumors place the number available at ~2,000.

                        The m21's are old match rifles too and the news are getting sage stocks which will run you almost as much as the rifle will.

                            Yet that's the road they are taking,the Sage chasis system is very efficient.
