If you were stuck way out in the back of beyond in a nasty life or death situation and you had the option of a 98 or a Remington would you really take the latter with it's lack of CRF, its puny extractor and it's little spring activated button ejector - over a Mauser? Seriously?




One experience I had soured me permanently on Remingtons as serious, reliable hunting rifles. Their accuracy is beyond dispute, but if you have had, as I have, a Remington bolt handle come off in your hand during a dry firing exercise, you'll never trust one again. Then there's the question of the famous Remington safety breeching system, which controls escaping gas so well. What is never mentioned is the fact that a swelled cartridge case head can lock up the action so tightly that unscrewing the barrel is the only way of removing it. Then there is the question of the trigger and its propensity to allow the rifle to fire when the safety is released.

Taken all in all, no thank you!
