[QUOTE="Doom2, post: 2631377, member: 108323"] I have a 223 700 ADL Varmint circa 2009. Low end rifle from Dicks Sporting Goods. Granted I replaced the trigger and and stock but its a sub .4 MOA 5 shot rifle. Also a 2012 SPS tactical 308 that is a sub .5 MOA 5 shot rifle. replaced the stock and trigger. These were low end $ rifles to start with and were project rifles. Remington sold many rifles through big box stores and many were low priced and to get that the stocks were the path. As for the triggers the XMarkPro isn't a bad trigger but it isn't a great trigger for bench rest or other target uses. You get what you pay for. I have seen most major suppliers rifles with issues at some point. That includes higher end rifles like Christensen Arms, Ruger Precision, Tikkas with issues. I am not bad mouthing any of these because as far as I know all the issues were fixed. I'm more concerned about the future of RemArms as a manufacturer of firearms. I would hate to see Remington go the way of Winchester. [/QUOTE]
