I have no problems with Remingtons they are good shooters generally and mostly after doing the trigger and bedding. The safeties suck..that is not only my opinion. There are more than a couple of dozen custom gunmakers who design their custom actions right off the remington action but end up putting a Sako or M16 extractor on it and a 3 position wing safety on the bolt which strangely reminds me of a Winchester safety...Must be my imagination. I have bought many Remingtons over the years and still have a few in the gun safe but I would not buy a new one on a dare.
