[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 379700, member: 11717"] It's possible that the Rem trigger was tampered with, but there is deifnitely a trend with 700 trigger problems. I think that's hard to deny. I see guys replacing Rem triggers (without problems) just as much as Howa's. I like the triggers on my Senderos and Howa, the Howa was just much easier to adjust. The argument that there are more Remmy's out here than Howa's has nothing to do with which is better. Remington has been around forever and does one heck of a lot more marketing than Howa. if you want to gauge quality, than look at the product and its components. The Howa bolt lugs are longer, the shroud is heavier and more robust, the handle is slightly longer, the firng pin assembly is better IME, the bolt body is ported for gas expulsion, the Howa bolt is more snug and smooth in the action and of course the Howa is a single piece construction. Some may have their preference between the Sako and Rem extractors, but my guess is that if you did a poll the Sako style extractor would easily win out. The Howa receiver is stornger (based on my observation of the two side by side) and incorporates a built in integral recoil lug,. The bottom metal and mag box are better IME. To me, there is is simply no comparison. The one advantage the Rem has is that the LA is slightly longer than the Howa allowing for the longer mag cartridges better in the mag box. But wiht the Rem, you still need an after market extended box to fit the longer seated bullets. When you compare the two side by side, the Howa is simply better. There is no question or contest.
