Scheels here does not knock the new Remingtons. I have had at least one new Remington every year or two for thirty years. They all shot great from the box. This includes my last two. A 22-250 and a 257 Roberts. Both 700 ADL Synthetics. I will no longer own anything but synthetic stocks. I would go with the Remington because of thirty years of excellent service and products. I have no problem with Tikka. Just great expierence with Remingtons.
