I emailed rem. and have not gotten word back. Will call sometime this week. Oh and to the guy that said that nothing is wrong with the rem. 770 and it is solid look at all of your bolt guns and tell me how many bolt handles are press fitted on with glue to hold it there. NONE of mine do except this one. I did not buy this rifle it was given to me by my dad when he upgrade to a winchester after he realized it was a piece of junk.

The original 870 Express wasn't bad. I mean, it's still crap, just decent crap. Then they cheapened it even more, and made the fit and finish even worse. 700's have a history being good. All the others are bait and switch like the OP situation. Those knuckleheads have the most popular rifle ever built and manage to screw up. Their custom shop is pathetic.
Pretty bad when 99% of the gunsmiths can take YOUR parts a build a better gun. You'd think with all the free research and development (meaning available custom rifles) they might learn something.

BTW let me guess you own a Benelli?

Trade it for a Winchester, or a Savage.
I like Savage better any way.

westtexducks, i have a model 770 in 30-06. the exact same thing happend to me. i shipped the gun to remington and they fixed it under warrenty. when it came back it was a completely different gun. Bolt was smooth and the trigger was crisp and smooth pull. for all those guys bad mouthing remington all i can say is take your fancy expensive guns that are so much better and put your oney on the table. With my 770 in 243 or 3006 will put 5 factory loads through one hole at 100 yards any day anywhere. Good Luck
