Devoted Remington man here. I have between 10-15 at this time...rifles and shotguns...and have yet to EVER have a malfunction in any of them. These were made from the late 50's right up till the late 90's. In fact my newest Remington is my best shooter. If they have quality control problems you couldnt tell it in 98% of the deer camps int his state. I cant wait till my piggy bank gets fat again so I can get my hands on a new Mtn. Rifle. I have had a couple of other makes that were turds......but the one that made me the maddest was the easiest to fix. Im not gonna bad mouth either of them. Will I try that brand again....sure will if the price is right.

To sum it up...I love all guns...but I am sticking with the the Rem's. I wanna try a Featherweight Model 70 soon but its after the Mtn Rifle. Theres too many chices out there to run down one brand...everybody turns out a lemon occasionally.
