[QUOTE="eaglesnester, post: 539564, member: 9431"] Heres my take, I have two Brownings. One is a 410 shotgun and the other is a 300WSM Browning target rifle. Both weapons have flawless fit and finish. My BPS shotgun is as nice as a $2500 Weatherby rifle. Both weapons shoot and hit their intended targets without a safety failure, crooked sights, trigger failure, or a failure to fire and extract and eject. Try that with any off the wall Remington, and I can tell you, that there is a very high probibility that you will encounter problems. I have spoken with gun dealers and in order to sell a Remington rifle or shotgun they have to go over evey one they receive from the factory with a fine tooth comb. They find many flaws that should have never left the factory and have to send em back. Not so with Browning. I bought a new Remington 22LR 39A for around 700 bucks. Out of the box it would not fire, extract, or eject. When it did manage to fire, after dropping the hammer on the same shell 3 or 4 times it would not extract or eject. I had to completly rebuild the rifle before it could be made serviceable. Now dont get me wrong here, I have a 30//06 Remington 700BDL that shoots like a house afire. I can shoot .5MOA or better all day long with that rifle. My wife did however, nearly kill me with a malfunction on that rifle. We were bear hunting, she was behind me with one up the pipe locked and loaded with the safety on. We were on our final stalk and we knew we were very very close in tight on that bear. When we next saw the bear we were about 8 or 10 feet from him. The old lady snicked off her safety (she was directly behind me and slightly to the right) and the weapon discharged into the ground. That's about as close as I want to come untill the good lord calls me home. [/QUOTE]
