[QUOTE="eaglesnester, post: 554532, member: 9431"] I spoke with my gun salesmen last week and he said, "We have to carefully inspect every Remingtom that comes into this shop from the factory. We have found many many flaws that should never have left the factory. These flaws include fail to fire, fail to extract and eject, sights both front and rear mounted off square and other jamming problems to numerous to mention. We immediately send em back. Remington is bypassing Q.C. problems and letting their customers deal with problems if they get past the dealer. It would appear that Remington has started the process of mining the company. I do believe that Remington and Marlin have also been combined. I paid over 700 bucks for a Marlin 39A 22LR and it would not shoot and when it did manage to fire a round it would not extract or eject the spent brass. I had to completely rebuild this rifle before it could be made servicable. I will never buy another Remington or Marlin product ever, unless I can examine the weapon and cycle the action in the store with dummy rounds, hold the weapon and examine the sights both front and rear and run a bore sight up the pipe to check the machinning at the leads and the rifleing. I do own a Remingfton 700BDL in 30/06 springfield that seems to be ok. I bedded and free floated the barrel with Devecon 10--110 and it shoots into 1 inch at 200 yards all day with Burger 168 grain bullets 10 thou off the lands.
