Anyone have one?
I'm looking at the specs and I don't see why this costs nearly double what a BDL or CDL costs??

Those specs make it look like a semi custom limited run.

Looks like they added a few expensive add-ons, but I don't know about this "New" Remington, they have to prove themselves all over again after all the issues they have had lately, and I can't see me paying those prices for one yet.

$1759.99 here, yea NO! I'd get a Bergara if I were ready to drop that kind of coin.

I don't see MSRP on the RemArms site. Midway says List Price is $2140.00 and their price is $1650. Sportsman Warehouse is $1760 Palmetto State Armory $1990. GAG (My goto) doesn't have them.
Looks like Remington's attempt to mimic Barret Fieldcraft, albeit couple pounds heavier.
A fast twist 243 and 223 is nice to see, but as the others have said, buy a bergara
Nevermind

The stock is an AG composite which go for around $650. The trigger is a timney elite hunter which is $170. Its also cerakoted. Thats $1000 if you were to pay retail to have that done to your 700. If you go to the remington website and compare the alpha to another rem 700 they will list the starting msrp. They state that the starting msrp is $1126. I don't know what addons there are that add it up to $1800.

Isn't that trigger adjustable to only 3.5 pounds. If so, they should have put a more adjustable trigger in it. Some of your cost is the cerakote and barrel threading. I agree with the stock, those are nice

There is a 308 listed on Gun broker for $1,499.00 starting bid. I watched a video and the bolt has feature of bayonet removal of firing pin. It looks like possibly BAT actions has their fingers all in this. says 7# 4 OZ

Premier Stalker Rifle - Bergara USA
The Bergara Premier Stalker Rifle is one of the all-around best hunting rifles on the market! The Rifle features a custom engineered full carbon fiber stock, built by a group of craftsmen who cut their teeth in the aerospace industry. The stock is extremely lightweight, rigid, and durable.

See if this looks similar. I've always said it is one of the best pure hunting rifles Bergara ever made but they stopped making it in 2019. Almost identical to this new Alpha. The AG stock alone is $650+ For that price, it better be a shooter though.
I have one of the original Bergara's and @david k. worked up some loads for me and it's a pretty decent lead slinger. 3 shots at 3/4" at 200 yards in a 7.5 lb rifle is about as good as I've got in me.

I'd like to see this shot against my 700 VLS or even Model 70 Super Grade.

Sportsmans Warehouse have a couple in limited calibers. $1749.99
I bought the Model 70 Super Grade to test against a 700, 6 years ago and have never gotten around to that.Well then buy one and give us a range report.
Also…. I see no reason for this to have a price tag nearly double that of a BDL or CDL. I don't want to spend that much.
Then don't. And most would agree, if you're gonna spend that much, it wouldn't be on a Remington. It's already been explained some of the cost difference. If that's not what you want or need it's not worth the extra coin to you.I bought the Model 70 Super Grade to test against a 700, 6 years ago and have never gotten around to that.

If you look at what people spend to customize a 700 with those same upgrades, its not really that outrageous of a price.
