[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1270692, member: 50867"] Careful our friend MudRunner. I don't know when you were a kid but I remember circa 1962 when the Remington 700 in 7mm magnum was the flatestest shooting "I gotta have one" rifle on the market. The action on mine was smooth as glass and, since then, I've see Rem. 700 clones pop up in so many venues that the list of copy cat blures my vision. Remington has had it's problems but, on the whole and as far as I can find in my research, it's the most immitated American action in the world. The pre-64 Winny was touted as one of the best (Model 70) you could find. But AFTER 64 it couldn't compete with any (ANY) quallity rifle on the market because of its poor quality and stamped (impressed) checkering. Compare it to the Smith & Wesson history pre- Sigma. The Sigma, with it's 1/4 mile trigger reset and forty pound trigger pull (exagerations of course - but it represents my disappointment in this "low cost" hand. S&W had a perfectly good 9mm that started with the model 459 and blew it with the SW9VE. Even, IMO, Remington's rush to compete in the market in recent years produced some poor quality rifles for a short time, their basic design that's been copied countless times, remains the same. Today their attention to quality control is much improved. Can you tell I'm a fan of the Remmy? :D [/QUOTE]
