[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 947289, member: 51650"] Concerning the "do I send my rifle back?" decision: Today UPS is delivering an unbidden 1.50 lb box from Remington which I assume is a shipping box for my son's 700. So later today I will be making this decision. I have complied with factory recalls in the past but only concerning automobiles. Nobody makes aftermarket plastic carburetors for Chevy Sprints or Dodge Colt Vistas. Gasohol pretty much melted both of those. Factory replacements were the only solution. We are blessed to have a choice in triggers of aftermarket or factory replacement. There are a Honda, Aprilia and Yamaha crotch rockets in the garage as I write this. The Yamaha has an excellent charging system but the Honda (Japanese) and Aprilia (Italian) suffer from weak output. Both have the [I]SAME[/I] aftermarket rectifier to correct it and that same rectifier will work on the Yamaha. Were triggers so easy. The point here is we have a choice and both are pretty good. Which is best? In support of Mud (and justifying the rectifier replacements) the aftermarket trigger makes for a safe gun and the Brown Box Van doesn't run my son's gun through a garbage disposal. I put a better part back on both of my son's motorcycles because of the certainty of utter reliable performance. The Aprilia was parked back in the garage last night having spent (misspent?) the last week and 3500 miles on the roads between WA and CA. The worth of a USA made part reliably powering his bike all that way? Priceless! The point of the above is there is a strain gauge under the chamber of the 700 for a PT II. Does Remington refuse to fix the trigger because I "modified the gun"? Do they scrape it off or damage it because the recall has a disclaimer of any damage to non-factory parts? The install of the SG is time consuming and requires careful measuring with small hole gauges to dial it in. Not interested in doing it twice. So aftermarket has a great appeal. To Feenix, I promise to take a drilling hammer (the big 3 pounder) to the factory defect so it is not misused. This is my son's rifle, I want to go tosleep at night knowing it is utterly safe. In support of Feenix. Compliance with factory recalls is a good idea. It does allow Remington the opportunity to correct a wide spread problem. All of us would not hesitate to send a produce back for a warranty issue for the factory to get it right. This is no different. And it removes future liability from my shoulders. But if they mess up my strain gauge........ Not trying to muddy the water here (pun intended).... KB [/QUOTE]
