Zrex, I am curious, why do you care so much if others like remington rifles? It appears, your rather obsessed with other's likes and dislikes. Just an observation from an outsider looking in.
I just like rustling the feathers of rem fans, they get sooooo defensive. |

I'm not a doctor but I slept in a Holiday Inn last night and I recommend you untwist your panties, take two Midol and then call me in the morning!! LMFAO!!!!:happy0157::happy0157::happy0157: |
Anyone would get their feathers ruffled when they are told that their possessions are of lesser value than thought.
Folks will even on occasion refuse to believe verifiable data when presented and even go as far as to assume since they have no issues there must be no issues. Tom |

rem uses a silver soldered on bolt handle, and the rear of the bolt has a bolt shroud in a sense 3 pieces but all bolt actions are and the rem is ported, ever notice the vent hole in the off side of the reciever? Remington recievers are made from bar stock, yep the same 4140 steel that most rifle makers use it just comes in a round form, and they use a CNC machine to machine the recievers out, just like howa, only howa has less waste using a square "Bar Stock" nothing wrong with the extractor except that on overloads a blown primer will damage the extractor. Remington barrels are turned and button rifled, howa's are "hammer forged" ya know what that means? they take square stock and run it through a hammer mill, which beats it round, then its drilled and button rifled, just like remingtons. I take my chances, buy remingtons just so I have an american made product where my money stays in america, and a lil bit of it goes into folk's pocket who are just like me, trying to make ends meet in a bad economy. If it doesn't suit me, I know a few american smiths who will make it a dream to shoot, maybe there is a better way but I prefer to feed my money to the money making machine that we know as the USA so keep your howa's and your tikka's, glad your happy with them.

Have you seen the gun poll? It doesnt look, its good by to Remington, looks to me like the Remington is the overall perfered rifle! Here you might want to lokk at it again.
Remington 940 32.71% Winchester 297 10.33% Weatherby 134 4.66% Savage 255 8.87% Browning 351 12.21% Ithaca 26 0.90% Beretta 38 1.32% Benelli 82 2.85% Federal 4 0.14% Ruger 270 9.39% Sako 134 4.66% Other 270 9.39% Thompson Center 73 2.54% Your beloved Weatherby happens to be one of the worst rated rifles by hunters on this forum. Remingtons are by far the most highly rated rifle here. There is wisdom in numbers. Seems to me you are a minority with your thoughts, zrexpilot |

People actually take stuff said on this site seriously when it comes to guns and scopes? That makes me laugh.

How can any "poll" not have Marlin on the list of rifles and Nikon & Burris not on the list of scopes ?!?!
