.300 Dakota

There was a thread dedicated to this that started about 2 years ago in anticipation of the release of this new "upgraded" 700. Remington inexplicably delayed release... until now. They are available, but only in select short-action chamberings at the moment. Mainly .308, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .243. Street price now, as back 2 years ago, runs between $1550 or so on sale up to pennies under $2k with most being in the upper $1600s.
I have committed to buying one brand new in the box cheaper than I'm likely to ever see one again. I'm hoping I didn't get taken. Has anyone got to shoot one of these yet?
I'm curious to see if it's top heavy. It has a 22" barrel thick enough to support a 5/8x24 thread on the muzzle, yet it has an AG Composites Hunter (I think) stock. I would have preferred a .308, but the 1:8 .243 I have coming will be interesting. Unfortunately, surely it MUST have a SAAMI chamber. That will limit the utility of the faster twist. Guess we'll see next week.
