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.
We sold alot of Jap Brownings by allowing the masses to peek inside of an "original"!
Not really sure either, but honestly, I am old enough right now, don't really care either..I know what has and has not worked for me for the past 40 plus years of shooting...
Remington's quality, IMHO, as I stated above, has really sucked...but as 500Nitro stated, think it picked up a notch or two last year...picked up a 5R in .223 that is shooting 1/4" groups with several loads I have tried...but also as mentioned., they are no longer "cheap" in my opinion for what you get..you can almost get a much better Cooper or similar for not that much more...which is the way I personally have gone...or just taking actions and having my own built with custom barrels of one sort or another...
