If it's for range use, no problem.

If it's for use in serious conditions, there are a few issues with Remington 700s:

- The bolt handle is not integral, it's brazen on. They do fail and come off once in a while.

- The plunger ejector can get stuck in the retracted position, failing to eject the case.

- The extractor does fail more often than other designs.

These are not theoretical occurrences, they are real issues affecting a significant number of these rifles. All these issues can be fixed, but have no place in a dangerous game situation. That a particular rifle worked flawlessly for years does not preclude the fact that many did not.

So, again: for use at the range or on non-dangerous game in a non-dangerous game area, no problem. They can be really accurate and they have shot gazillions of things.

If the rifle is intended for use in dangerous game country, it may be worth considering a different one.
