Remington 7615 In 300 Blackout

[twoblink]

I am wondering if Remington will bring this to fruition.. I saw someone on youtube have one. I'm thinking this would be THE perfect hog gun..

The perfect hog gun is an SKS......

I'm not a hog hunter but if I had to describe the perfect hog gun, it would be either the lightweight AR-10 I built in .260 Rem. Or the lightweight AR-15 I built in a wildcat called the 7mm Valkyrie. I say they are the perfect hog gun because for me they are the perfect deer rifles as that is my primary quarry.

To have the firepower and accuract that both of these mentioned rifles are capable of there wouldn't be a hog in this country that I'd feel undergunned against.

I highly doubt it. They never really bothered to push it here in the US(AFAIK) and quickly dropped support for it here. I really don't see them bringing it back a decade after they canned it.

If you are lucky enough to own a Remington 7615, do not destroy it's increasing value by making it into a wildcat platform.

What is wrong with the .223 as a 'hog' gun?

If you think it is too light, get a 7600 in .308 or .30-06, the carbine version.

I cannot understand the infatuation with the .300 blackout. I routinely download .308 loads to subsonic, but you can't 'upload' a blackout to 60,000 PSI loads going 3,000 pfs (you can with a 30-06)

Unless you are wedded to the AR platform, I see the 300 blackout as a step backwards.

That is not the point of 300BO. That is like me saying, I can download my 375H&H all day but you can't load 30-06 up to the same level... They are totally different animals. 300BO was never intended as a 300 yard hunting round. It was designed to replace pistol caliber sub-machine guns in an AR platform for use at less than 200y, often much less, with a suppressor to make a very quite, very capable bad guy whacker.

For some reason we, well some shooters, seem to expect 308 level performance from the BO. That is not the goal. 300 BO is more akin to 7.62x39, give or take, but works better in the AR style rifle with its straight mag well.

And heck, everyone knows the best hog round is the 375H&H... or maybe 45-70
