I do not own any Remingtons. Their style doesn't really appeal to me. For that matter, I do not own any Weatherby's.

Having said that, I really do not understand the constant banging away at Remington that goes on {with Weatherby attackers nipping at the heals of the Anti-Remmy crowd for a close second place}. Personal appeal aside, I know lots of people that own Remington 700's and to a man they find them extremely accurate and have little problem with them.

Sure, Remingtons have warts. So does every other sporting arm.

I am fully aware of the problems Remingtons have and have been criticised for and have seen some of those problems close up. I am also aware of the problems exhibited by every single other manufacturer of sporting firearms as well!

Not relating to a Remington, but I remember the fun I used to have when the Jap Browning levergun series came out and I had a bunch of them in stock. I also had an original Winchester 71 or two in the place. When some fellow came in the shop trashing the Jap Brownings I'd open the action of a Browning 71, ditto the Winchester original and lay them both on the counter and ask the fellow to please examine each one closely. My experiences at the range matched the quality of internals, which was to say that the Jap made the Winny look really bad.

We sold alot of Jap Brownings by allowing the masses to peek inside of an "original"!
