Remington Accuracy

You might be right. But if you buy a gun from a dealer you can certainly look it over good, check the trigger function etc etc before buying like I did and maybe avoid that lemon.

That is one reason I bought the Remington and not a Weatherby Vanguard (trigger gritty and not smooth), Tikka T3 (did not appeal to my eyes), Venture (same), nor some others. After looking over all the guns I could afford the Remington seemed the best made and best functionally. The only risk I took was in the grouping and I trusted the guys in here that it would be good. I was right to trust you guys.
 
You will next to never hear about CDLs or Senderos having problems.

I have personal experience with a POS CDL.... Remington put a barrel on it and a trigger and dinged the stock in the process... The new trigger they put in sucks... I can't get the bolt out of it as they didn't properly inlet the stock for the bolt release on the new trigger... FAIL... Got tired of fighting with them + the anger over dinging my walnut... I'm done...

Yours was one of the more disturbing Remington stories I know of and almost made me not buy one. I would post this in every review site I could find and maybe they'll wake up and give you a new rifle.
 
Dont think you will find a better rifle rite out of the box than a remigton..that being said i recently bought thier new 700 22-250vsf and shooting factory loads i am getting less than a 1/4" group at 100yrds i dont see it gettin much better than that rite out of the box

It's really a shame as I have other Remingtons that perform so well...

Concrats on your new rig. I am not trying to rain on your parade, but a three shot group doesnt really reflect the true accuracy, three shots could be a little luck involved, but five shot groups tell the true potential.

I agree if it were a target rifle but it isn't it is a hunting rifle. For me I would rather see what kind of three shot groups it can pull from a cold bore first shot and two follow up shots. As long as the second two shots are within an 1-1.5" of the first one I'm pretty happy.

I have rifles I want to shoot 5-10 shot groups out of and rifles I'm happy with three.

Nice shooting BTW!

Now I am extremely pleased. All I've read in here is how Remington's quality is horrible and their new trigger is worse then the old and on and on. I'll tell you what. This is one fine shooting rifle. And for $599 with a $40 rebate. I doubt a Savage could beat this.

Well, I'm glad that someone is pleased.

Maybe Remington didn't have enough labor to go around, so they dedicated it to rifles with their own name on it.

Or maybe Marlin employees are disgruntled, and they're doing a sabotage, like FN did to the nazis when they took over the Belgian Hi-Power factory. :D
