[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1996583, member: 69478"] As I said before, I’m a big Remington fan. I love 700s and 870s. That being said, here’s a few things that I really think need fixed. I will say the things they were doing right was that their last 700 actions have been very true from the factory. A gunsmith that I use to talk to a lot would send me videos showing just how true the 700s were in his shop purchased in the last couple years. Having said that, here’s the list of things I think really need changed. 1- Quality trigger whether it’s a revamped Walker/X-Mark trigger or an aftermarket OEM production trigger from Triggertech, Timney, etc. 2- Fix the primary extraction!!! That’s the biggest holdback on newer 700 actions. 3- Improve barrel quality. I don’t expect them to by Harts or Bartleins, but get some sort of system to keep them in acceptable tolerances and with a half decent bore finish. 4- Ditch the $39 plastic stocks and plastic trigger guards. Again, I don’t expect an HS or McMillan, but something a little more sturdy and add pillars to all factory stocks and have all the barrels free floating. 5- Improve overall fit and finish. A lot of people complain about Remingtons blueing and how easy they rust. The matte finish is nice, but improve it so it’s not so susceptible to rust and corrosion. 6- Move past the twist rates from 1970 and start producing rifles in popular cartridges. Also stay on top of new chamberings and new moves in the industry. It shouldn’t take 5+ years to catch up to everyone. 7- Continue to advance and improve machines, techniques, and technology to truly stay at the top of the pack. [/QUOTE]
