Don't forget it is a
Police model. Meant for "urban sniping", tight spaces and all that. Short barrel is a cookie cutter feature for these things.
With that in mind, I don't know what they're trying to accomplish with this rifle?
Short barrel, it even says
medium range in the name, so why is it chambered in 338 LAP?
If you want a short barrel medium range rifle, they already do the 700 SPS tactical in .308.
Half the cost, half the recoil, the same accuracy (haven't shot them both but probably). The SPS is a damn accurate gun.
If you wanted a high power long range Remington they already did the '700 Long Range' and 'XCR Tactical - Long Range' in 300 Win Mag.
Not trying to rain on your parade but that's my view of the thing, I dunno what it's for...
