[QUOTE="Ridgerunner665, post: 1055098, member: 12660"] I never said they weren't accurate, most are... My gripe is their quality control...5 rifles in 5 years that had to go back for service that wasn't performed to my satisfaction...and some of these were expensive models...they were all MY rifles, not hearsay or buddies rifles...mine. Improper headspacing (2), bolt handle coming off in my hand, barrel that fouled so badly it wasn't even good for 20 rounds, a model 7 that just plain wouldn't shoot no matter what....for many years I was a hard core Remington man, nothing else would do, at one time I owned more 700's than a large gun shop would keep in stock...but those 5 rifles done me in....I sold them all. For me it isn't about snobbery or what I can afford...its about what I will accept...while that may sometimes sound like snobbery, believe me when I say it only sounds that way...I'm just a poor boy myself (truck driver)...and I don't believe in throwing good money after bad, I cannot afford it. My point is...its easy to get enough money tied up in some "so-so" rifles to pay for something far better. [/QUOTE]
