I have been blessed to be able to purchase many different brands of rifles, factory or otherwise...expensive and inexpensive...while I realize the Remington's are not a Holland and Holland or Westley Richards, IMHO, I think it is complete bullshit that the handles break off..While it may have at one time happened to someone at sometime after he beat it with a steel bar--I frankly don't believe it.. if that was the case, why would custom gun makers such as Kenny Jarret, or Les Weibernick use them on their multi thousand dollar guns.. not I know Jarret no longer uses them as he has come up with is own design.. however the fact is, he used them for many years..

The only two bolt handles I have ever seen or heardto have broken off was one with my booking agent out of Wyoming, who had a handle break off of a mauser action he had..another was when my fathers Winchester .22 tipped over and the handle broke off --Personally, I think a lot of people don't have enough to do and they come up some bs to discuss on the internet, which reminds me, I better get back to work.

Anyway, I have owned Remingtons in probably 15 differant calibers and have NEVER had one problem with them... Another notion you hear is the feeding ability--take one and hold it upside down and cycle the action..see if it feeds..again I have never had one that would not..

As to CZ's, in my experience, they are fairly accurate however a little rough around the edges as to workmanship---however in most factory rifles anymore quality no longer seems to be job one..

Again, this is my experience...
