If they want to do things right there are several modification they could make to their 700 and 760 that would give therm immediate results and if I were in charge I would do some research on what would be involved to compete with the CZ and Winchester M70 by bringing back the 30A Bolt action which was one of the best ever made. Remington should bring the 30A back, not to totally replace the 700 but to add another choice for the riflemen that want a top-notch gun.

For the 700s put in a safe and fool-proof trigger like everyone else in the industry does. Install a screw through the bolt handle so they cannot come off the bolt body, and get rid of those frail little extractors. Go to an M-16 style at the very least. An M-1 Garand style would be even better but they may have to open the bottom of the bolt recess to make one work easily from the shoulder.

Use a square hanger on the 760 pump so the for-end can't twist and touch the barrel. If the forend was not allowed to touch the barrel, and if they put a good heavy duty extractor in the bolt, the 760 could be a real competitor to every lever action out there for hunting. If held carefully I have seen 760s that would shoot as well as 700s. The trigger should be cleaned up too. Design wise, it's never going to be a match trigger, but just a bit of care when the gun is made could make them a LOT better.

Those would be good starts.

I doubt they will even be discussed, but those are the kind of things that would put Remington back on the market as a serious competitor.

Just my dreams
