I would go to a good gunsmith before sending a rifle back to ANY manufacturer.I exchanged PMs with trnelson today about this rifle. He suggested that I stop shooting it until I had a gunsmith to check it out. I agreed.
I had already stopped.
I called Remington today and told them what the rifle was doing. I told them I had read on the net that the 700s with a serial number beginning with RR were trouble makers. Mine starts with RR. They asked for my serial number. I was put on hold for several minutes and the lady from customer service told me they would send me a label to return the rifle to them for inspection. I'm supposed to get the return label in 24 hours.
She said to include a letter with the problems inside the box.
I'm hoping this will get the rifle fixed. I read on the net about others sending their rifles in and nothing being done. I'm optimistic!
