RE: Reminton CDL vs. Browning A-Bolt Medallion
I don't know where this crap about poor extraction with Remingtons comes from. I've been shooting 721's, 722's, 725's and 700's for more years than I care to count. I'm telling you right now I've yet to have my first ejection/extraction problem. I'm not buying it. Any of it.
As far as bedding goes, I wouldn't do a thing until I'd shot the gun with different brands of ammo after a barrel break-in period. The last several Rems I've bought shot just darn good right out of the box. As far as appearance goes, I think you would have to look long and far to beat the CDL.
I know there are lots of Browning lovers on here, and that's fine. Some people drive Fords too, and love them.
