yes the stock is cheesy...and the scope mounts are garbage (mine were stripped from the factory as well)
that doesnt matter...i got a brand new m700 that shoots for a very good price...stock can be changed and you'd never know it was a "cheap gun" and its a m700 action...parts and accessories can be had easily.....
i havent heard of any that didnt shoot great...and i know a handful of guys with the same rifle as me....i bought new rings and bases immediately...then put a VX II 6-18x40 AOT on it...
best shot to date is a 350yd headshot on a groundhog...
My prairie dog shootin buddy has that same rifle with the crappy Remington scope and green plastic stock (plastic strap too) on it. He's been shootin it for 3 years now and its a killer. It will shoot with my VSSFII all day.
IMHO opinion the word "cheap" is a warning in itself.
