To all, sorry for coming here with that rumor shite. The OB deserves better. Rumor being 44 mag not being a 44 mag.

Back to the 300BLK, remington makes a Model 7 bolt action chambered in 300 blackout and Handi Rifle makes a 300 Blackout model too. I believe TC either makes one or I saw a prototype not too long ago.

Whst other rifle round has gone to so many platforms so quickly? Definitely not 308 nor 17. The 17 is only available in a few brands and only bolt action.

It's definitely getting popular, especially amongst us "gun nuts".

I think .308 hit the bolt action, full auto, and semi auto markets pretty quickly after its development.

Eta: it was designed for feeding in belt fed full autos IIRC

I have a T/C Encore in 17 and a bolt gun. They were making autoloaders as well as 10/22 conversions at one time not sure if they're still are as there was a safety concern or something they're also available in revolvers and lever guns as well as Tactical. But the 44mag gets my vote.
