[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1477792, member: 12995"] It's not that Remington has gone downhill that much (although, they have had some QC issues for a while), it's that you get what you pay for these days. You buy a $300 rifle, you can't expect too much off-the-bat. You buy an $800 rifle, you expect alot more from it. Inflation has caused alot of it. Raw material prices going up and wage hikes, what used to be a $100 rifle in the 60's is now an $800 rifle. I'm a huge 700 fan, but if you are wanting a factory 600-700 yard rifle, that will require very little tweaking or work to get it shooting right, I would strongly recommend something like the Christensen Arms Ridgeline or Browning X-Bolt Hells Canyon Long Range chambered in 7mmRM or .28 Nosler.
