Ha! I'm still waiting for you to throw up some stats on the Model 70 or any other major rifle to show any reports of misfires like your precious Remingtons have been getting for decades! PS: I couldn't resist because you always rag on me for doing exactly what you are on this thread. As far as quality on the Marlins, I can't speak to them other than the old 22 semi I have and it's functioning fine.
