[QUOTE="Buano, post: 439847, member: 21641"] 4xforfun Although I wasn't involved in this thread, I will explain the comment on safety. Remington is being sued because it is alleged: since inception, the Model 700 triggers, IN A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF CASES have failed, often by going off when they should not have. This does not say all will fail this way, but that is the record that is now coming out. As that record is now in the public domain, I wouldn't allow a Model 700 to get used out of our safe unless it had the trigger replaced. I see the two of you debating two different things: one person saying a Weatherby out of the box is likely to outshoot a Remington out of the box & the other saying a Remington could be the basis of an accurate rifle. Accept it guys, both are true. Neither of you is wrong. If I had to take a factory rifle on a hunt with no previous experience or knowledge of the particular rifle, of course I would choose the AccuMark over the Remington. If I was building a custom I would want a good action that was readily available AND CHEAP so I would likely choose Remington (or more likely Winchester). [/QUOTE]
