[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2540876, member: 69478"] I have to disagree about their popularity. A lot of the old Remington’s are very good rifles. They shoot good, they look good, and they were affordable. The best group I’ve ever shot was from a Remington 700 Varmint special in .308 Win. Yeah the military and police use helped, but that’s not the main reason they’re popular. I’ve personally seen many older Remington’s that are bone stock other than maybe some bedding and a tuned trigger that shoot excellent. The newer ones were definitely more hit and miss. The 700 action is an excellent design, especially for the time it came out. It has a few minor draw backs such as the bolt release isn’t the most convenient and some people have had issues with the extractors, but overall a good design. The main issues with it are the years of manufacturing and ups and downs within Remington have caused quality control issues. I’m biased and prefer custom actions for many reasons, but the 700 was a great design and still is a viable option if you get a good one or you’re on a budget. [/QUOTE]
