RE: I'm pissed, brand new remington 700, and it sucks! (pics included)
Seen something like this on another website. Notmany folks buy those guns and they sit around gathering dust.Your gun has that substitute for a good blue job that many guns have today. The scratches will wipe off with an oily rag. The action is crappy because of the metal coating. It will get smoother over time.
Any gun with police in the namesells at a premium price.
