Default cheap rem 700's from dicks warning

A guy i work with has bought 2 rem 700's from dick's. they have been on sale for under $500. I bought the 22-250 off of him cause he wanted the 308. Anyways, they both have bull barrels and mine has the olive green synthetic stock. his new one has a camo synthetic stock and I have to say, the camo is the worst i have seen. I thought those stocks were dipped hole. there is a seem with 2 different patterns on his. I felt bad for him but he should have looked. also the rem scope on the 308 was blurred and loose and stripped. He did take it back and they put a new bushnell on it for him.

So, here is my warning: Check the gun before you buy it. I know the 7oo's have always been good but be sure to check everything, stock, scope, screws, bolts whatever you can see. Still alot better than the 770 though.
