What does that tell you? It shoots 2" @ 100 yds and 6" @ 200 yds on a good day. My old Remingtons shot very well. This one is going in for a Savage. I'm done, the last 3 Remingtons have been a big disapointment in accuracy.
My cousin lives in Nashville, TN. He had just moved there. He had three Remington shotguns in his collection, A Benelli 390, A shot gun that was made before 1900, A couple of air rifles and his bow all sitting in his Wooden display cabinet with glass doors. Within a month or two of moving there. His Remington shotguns were all rusted. All the other guns in his cabinet were fine. Including the one made before 1900.
Are there some potential lurking variables here. Maybe. Lets say there was some neglect. Which I don't particulary think so but if there was they were all neglected the same.
