These are guys who put they're reputation on the line every time they build a rifle, so I'll take they're word for it.

Hey I'd have no problem with a competant gunsmith building me a
Rem 700 rifle either using factory trigger poperly adjusted. Cause I know before it got handed to me it would be safe. The gunsmiths reputation is at stake.. I work for a manufacturing and installating company. We have gotten awards lots but the 2 precious to me are the 2 we got as the best exporting of manufactured goods in North America. That doesn't mean we don't do things wrong, design issues, or couldn't have been better.Does that mean we are the best there is? No, but it has alot to do with of acceptable level of tolerence is much much higher than our competition before it goes out the door.Before it is much higher than industry min specs acceptable in North American.These are stiff tolerences to live up to in the bare min level to make it higher is an achievement well above and beyond.Obviously there is an issue with Remington that goes alot deeper than what we are seeing on T.V.. I just don't trust the way
they are put together in that factory facility..It seems to me, it's production numbers at min factory standards. Our facility counts on production no question about it,min production numbers have to be met, but it's a very reasonable number to meet , but if the quality standard isn't up to our standards, it gets to meet our standards, and gets shipped.Are we making millions, yep, could we make more, yep
but I quarantee it would be at the price of quality and or company reputation.All Remington has to do is slow things down, cause there was a time when everybody agreed that Rem was and is and will continue to be a great hunting rifle.Right now, the percentage has dropped. That's a fact.
