I am able to make a bias decision on them
at this moment because of court judgments and rulings and tesimonies of
of current owners, and their opinions plus their employees including their
own designer. .[/quote]
From their website since you won't go there,

Roger James – Presented as the "Remington Insider"
Testifying in those cases under oath, he was specifically asked whether he had "any recollection of ever hearing anyone at Remington discuss alleged accidental discharges involving bolt-action rifles." His answer was, "No, sir."

Mr. James NEVER worked in the manufacturing or production of firearms; rather, he was employed in Remington’s ammunition plant.

Mike Walker - Designer
The 1948 design shown by CNBC was not even Mr. Walker’s, but that of another Remington engineer.

CNBC also did not note that Mr. Walker’s 1948 proposal would have left the connector in place, or that when Mr. Walker designed the Model 700 in the early 1960s, he maintained the connector and incorporated a sear blocking safety mechanism, consistent with prior designs.
