pump action .223

bmiller54 · 01-10-2005, 06:22 PM

Does anyone know of a company that makes a pump action rifle chambered for .223? I have looked at the Rem 7600 but it does'nt seem to be available in .223.

Thanks Bruce

don't know of one... Many semi-autos out there, as well as bolts which are short actions (not too hard to work fast).

Wouldn't a pump or a lever action have to have a snub nosed bullet (not to fire the next round in the tube)?

Not in a Pump with a detactable magazine.If it had a tubular magazine yes it would.I don't know of any pump 223's.I think Remington at one time made a pump 223. I'm not 100% sure of that though.

From Remington's law enforcement site:

"When a tactical situation requires a rifle with unquestionable reliability and durability, the Model 7600P Patrol Rifle will set a new standard. Stay tuned for the new 7615P in .223 Rem that utilizes an AR-15 magazine."

SOUNDS AWESOME to me

If Remington does release the 7600P,I have a feeling it might be LE only.I would definately find intrest in getting one if it's released for sale to the general public.

Remington made the 760 pump in a .223 caliber. I believe it was released early in the 70's, maybe earlier. My uncle used his over 20 years PA turkey hunting and it shot awesome. Retired it and now shoots his Tikka 512 over/under. They're very rare and cost a bunch to find one in great shape.

Here's short story of some guy who owns one and the short history of it.

i don't think any new pump action rifles are made to fit the.223 caliber rifle.
