But xausa, Remington is supposed to have fixed the safety fault.

The others are minor if your ammo is good.

As to the great Accuracy, I'm not sure that holds much water. Back in the early 80's, a close friend of mine complained to Remington that his .338 M700 would barely do 3 1/2" with ANY factory ammo & his handloads would only get just under 2", but not 1 1/2".

He mailed it back to the Remington with that note, they sent it back with covering letter in separate mail and somewhere in route after crossing the border back into Canada - the rifle went missing. Friend I got his money back in insurance.

Remington's note said the rifle tested well under their maximum grouping capability of 5" at 100 yards & therefore there was noting wrong with it. Since my friend will not own a rifle that will not group an inch under for 5 shots with handloads, he will never own another Remmy.

The letter really upset him - 5"? I know other fellows with Remington 700's of different calibres that shoot well - I have one in a .22-250 26" Varmint that is quite accurate and off bags runs in the 3/8" to .4" range for 5 shots. My bipod groups open to 1/2" for 5 (not sure why), and run 3/8" or smaller for 3 shot groups. I thought it should do better than that off the bipod but it does not.
