Default My Last Remington

After owning many many Remingtons I have had my fill. I bought a new 700 BDL SS 2 months ago in 7 Rem mag. It might be the most accurate remington I have owned to date. I didn't carefully check it out when I picked it up and the floorplate is loose. Believe it or not to get warranty work done on it I have to send the COMPLETE rifle back to Remington to get this floorplate replaced. I replaced the ISS wart with a normal bolt shroud/firing pin assembly and adjusted the trigger. Total cost of rifle so far is 670 dollars. I take it hunting this weekend and walk thru brush and Voila my buddy tells me the bolt is ope[:@]. DId I tell you about stock noise? New style synthetic stock they sell and it is the noisiest stock I have ever owned. A bongo drum would be quieter in the woods. Yes it is very accurate but boy are they(Remington) really missing the mark. I am sending this POS back to have the floorplate replaced and then it is going to be gone .
