HUMMMM I don't know how i missed this topic?????
Ruger you should have emailed me and told me of this squawk session!!!!!!
I Love my remington 700's and frizzell i would go to the range with you!
Soark yeah I should have.You usually don't missed these squawk sessions.You might have been to busy praising the Honda's and running down the Polaris's. Not that you've ever been known to do that.
There were allot of good points brought up.I've had a few 700's over the years. All were good shooters. I only have one left which is about a 9 yo 700ADL in 270.RedAllison was correct when he said about the Parkerazation(matt finish) rusting.All my guns are like new. This 700ADL formed rust on the barrel.I was somewhat PO.On the other hand I bought it for strickly hunting and expected it to get banged up. Never dreamt it rusting though..In all honesty I haven't looked at or handled any new Remingtons in several years.So I can't say about their QC.I take that back. I did look at a couple of 710's when they first came out.That was a shock seeing such a POS come from a company like Remington.Ruger's triggers as we all agree could be allot better then they are.They can be cleaned up nicely,no need to replace them.Most of my M-77's have been reworked so I have proof that they can be done.It's unfortunate most companies are cutting productioncosts,effecting the quality of their products. Not just firearms but everything we buy today.I've watched firearms quality slip over the years. Back in the Mid 70's at the gunshop where I worked PT for awhile we saw S&W's quality change.Today I wouldn't buy a new Smith.Quality isn't the only reason I won't buy a Smith..Even though we see the quality slipping we keep buying these products.If we didn't buy them for quality reasons they would have to improve or suffer the consequences. Until we stop buying these inferior products,there won't be any improvement.
