I was a long time fan of Remington up until their quality started dropping off. I know they still have their following. And I still own a few that are good shooters. But these rifles are at least 25 or more years old. I also have 2 Browning A bolts. Both are good shooters but both of them also need some tweeking. My 7-08 needed a bedding job to increase its potential and my 325WSM needed a trigger job. But both will now shoot sub MOA if I do my part. Frankly if I had to choose one rifle manufacturer for consistant out of the box accuracy it would be Savage. And from what I hear, Tikka and CZ are also getting a good reputation in this department. As for the new Remingtons, they just don't appeal to me anymore.
