The Remington 700, quite unfortunately, is a decent agglomeration of manufacturing shortcuts, and its foremost design consideration was cost of manufacture. Hence the "pipe" receiver, sandwiched recoil lug, three piece soldered together bolt, and "paperclip" extractor. You can do much, much better for your money. The thing that most impresses me about Remington is they have managed to sell so many.

Quite true. They sell because of $ value + the dont come apart at the seams like some other rifles do. That is catastrophic failure.

The other thing for me personaly is I have suffered more failures from Mauser and other CRF rifles than I have with my Rems. So in my case the Rem is a better DG rifle than the CRF, go figure. I would think my cicumstances are the fly in the ointment that disproves the rule.
