ok biged, i bought a remington 700 sendero and a rem.seven at a going out of business sale from jumbo sports in little rock ar. i scoped the sendero and took it out and shot it. (shoots damn good) . well being a gun nut i am a stickler for a clean gun. so i took it apart and the stock chipped at the floorplate. as you know the sendero has a hs precision stock that aint cheap. i called remington and they said send it back . they sent me another new one. at about the same time i put a scope on the seven and sighted it in. i hunted with it and later when i went to clean it i noticed it. the sn# didnt match between the bolt and reciever. i know i should have checked it when i bought it but thats an entirely different story. remington said send it back and they fixed it . this could have been very dangerous if the bolt had been for a different gun. anyway these guns came from a sporting goods store not wally world. i am not mad i got two good guns at below dealer cost. i work for my friend in his pawn shop when aviation is slow. i can tell you guns from distributors come messed up also. most recent a marlin 22 with a bent cartridge tube. a 11-87 that had a chunk broke out of the reciever / tube area. a browning buckmark that would not expend hulls at all. a springfield scout that had the sight detent ball missing. the only gun manufacture that i have seen not to have a bad product come through is ruger. at least through his shop. now he sells alot of guns and i mean ALOT. and they all come from distributors that your gunsmith probably uses. it's about quality control at the manufacturer not wal mart. and as long as the manufacturer realizes the mistake and makes good on it i am ok. yeah some could be bad but as long as humans are doing it they will make mistakes. you know sarah bradys mother was only human too.
