Sorry so many people have had issues with Remington firearms...
...maybe I'm just lucky.
I've never had a problem with my centerfire rifles or shotguns.
The 597 .22LR rifle has had some 'issues', but these have been addressed.
I would think the sheer number of Remington 700's would have a bearing on finding some with a problem with something.
The bolt handle falling off makes me wonder if someone, somewhere, beat it with a stick or hammer to get the bolt to move after shooting a hot load or a cartridge that had been sun-cooked in or out of the rifle.
The extractor / cir-clip has never been an issue with me or anyone I know; not that it can't happen.
Triggers coming apart sounds like somebody was messing with it.
I won't bash other products just because I've had good 'luck' and like my Remington rifles. I don't mistreat them or monkey with them either...
I have read that other products had 'issues', too.
For the purposes of hunting and target shooting with one rifle, the 700 LTR would be a helluva choice; plus it's a good 'SHTF' rifle, if you're into that.
1 rifle. 3 purposes. Who else has one but Remington?
