Here’s the thing—when it comes to a defensive scenario in a rural Missouri home or on a wooded property, you need a tool that bridges the gap between a carbine’s maneuverability and a rifle’s stopping power. The 700-CP does exactly that. Its compact 26.5-inch overall length lets you navigate hallways and doorways effortlessly, while the .308 cartridge ensures you have authority at distances where smaller rounds fade. The package is drop-in ready, needing only an optic to be mission-capable. At $996.30, this setup offers serious capability without the custom shop price tag. It ships to Missouri and compliant US states through your local FFL.
Who This Firearm Is For
This pistol is for the landowner who needs a potent, short-range hunting tool for predators or hogs from a blind or vehicle. It’s for the tactical shooter seeking a compact, precision-oriented platform for training or competition. It’s also a viable consideration for the prepared individual who understands that a .308 in a package this small provides a unique advantage in a critical home or property defense situation where over-penetration concerns are minimal.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The .308 Winchester cartridge from a 12.5-inch barrel still generates formidable ballistics, making it effective well beyond typical pistol or shotgun ranges. The M-Lok system offers immense flexibility for mounting modern accessories like a Surefire Scout light or a Magpul bipod. The included brace is a significant value-add, providing immediate shootability. You get the renowned accuracy and aftermarket support of the Remington 700 action in a novel, compact format.
Cons: Recoil and muzzle blast are pronounced—this is not a gentle plinking gun. Effective use requires proper technique and likely a muzzle device. The compact size sacrifices some ballistic efficiency and velocity compared to a rifle-length barrel. Magazine options may be more limited than for some modern chassis systems. With an unloaded weight around 7.5 pounds, it’s dense for its size, which helps with recoil but not all-day carry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the pistol brace permanently attached, and is this considered a short-barreled rifle (SBR)?
A: No, the brace is not permanently attached. As configured and shipped, this is a pistol, not an NFA-regulated Short-Barreled Rifle. You can legally should the brace. Always consult current ATF rulings and an attorney for definitive legal guidance on configuration and use.
Q: What type of optic mount does this use?
A: The receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard Remington 700 scope base pattern. This means it is compatible with widely available Picatinny or Weaver-style bases from brands like Warne, Leupold, and EGW. This gives you immense flexibility in optic choice and mounting height.
Q: Can this barrel handle sustained fire, and is it threaded for a suppressor?
A: The barrel is threaded with a standard 5/8″-24 pattern, which is common for .30 caliber muzzle devices and suppressors like those from SilencerCo or Dead Air. While robust, the lightweight alloy construction and short barrel are not designed for high-volume, rapid strings of fire like a machine gun. It’s built for precision and controlled shots.
