[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 614067, member: 41338"] I've had a number of Remington's and none shot very well. They've all needed something. Remington's "friends" with the military and gun writers and as such, enjoy a manufactured reputation. The aftermarket supply industry flourishes because it's necessary. It's about the same relationship as the old VW Bug and a JC Witney catalog. Lots of parts because you'll never be satisfied without fixing it. It's only since the Internet that things have gotten better. The Consumer goes right around "lobbyist gun writers" and gives it to you straight in places like this here. I mean hey... if your going to fall for a flashy magazine ad over the reports of 100 people who own the product, you deserve to get stung. You saw what they did when they got their hands on Marlin Firearms. As soon as they bought Marlin, they virtually destroyed the lever action industry due to poor manufacturing. You look back on this thread and there's people who just go out and replace the stock on a new rifle. Why would you do that unless it sucked? Would I buy a Remington... Well your not going to change the product without changing the people. It's a company that's broken and adrift with it's key focus on profitability. Remington left me, I didn't leave them. I'll be happy to purchase another when they've earned it and can maintain high quality over an extended period of time. For now, I can do much better elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
