[QUOTE="Jerry Cunningham, post: 376405, member: 21139"] I have owned a number of Remingtons over the years. Most of them were Remington 700's. My experience has been that the quality has declined a great deal over the last 15 years. The bolt handles and the extracter cam on the action now tends to be very soft. This is not only painful to look at but does cause extraction problems. The older actions were much better. Most of the Remingtons shot well enough but the few that had problems had [U]real[/U] problems. Whenever a product is produced in huge numbers then quality goes down. If the customer service does not pick up the dogs then their business will suffer over the long run. When profit is rated higher than quality then people will and should turn away from their products. I do not buy new Remingtons any longer. I do try to pick up the older actions if the price is right because it allows a cheap build if one is careful. I have owned and used some 1914 and 1917 Enfields that easily outshot my bad Remingtons. In fact, most of the Enfields will give most of the new Remingtons a run for their money. Jerry [/QUOTE]
