Unfortunately The870 has made a lasting impression. One we could all do without.

Ruger Redhawk

Well just to chime on on this....I have 4 700 Rem's..number 5 is on the way. I have had ZERO probs with any of them and 3 of the 4 group great with cheap ammo. In fact my 270 adl (nothing but a trigger adjustment) with the TUPPERWARE stock will conistently group inside 2 inches at 200 yards with a Tasco 2x7 World Class scope and Federal Classic 130 gr ammo. I can only hope you guys have as good of service as I have had from Team Green.

I have since purchased another 700 albeit a used older Classic so I am not entirely down on them. I really like them but I would like to see some changes in their product as well. I just feel for what they charge for their new models that one can spend a few more dollars or in some cases spend less and get just as good or in some cases a superior product.

I would be happy if they would just change their extraction to a M16 style. Oh, and change the trigger guard to metal of some sort. Also, a three lug design would be nice but not entirely necessary. Also wouldn't cost much to actually glass bad from the factory. I mean browning does and it seems to work.

If I had to categorize every problem I have had with the 700's I own it would fall into probably only 3 areas

1.Triggers
2.Safety
3.Quality control overall ( I have an example below)

One custom shop 700 I purchased would not extract a fired factory Federal round without hitting the bolt with a rubber mallet to open it. I got the rifle back 3 months later. How in the world could they have proof fired it and not found that out before they shipped the POS? If I buy any more it will be old ones until they clean up their act

I've owned 5 model 700's , all BDL's as I'm a lefty. The newest is a short action .243 purchased about 2 months ago. It's fine for it's intended purpose. As usual the trigger was atrocious. My complaint is Big Green claims they cater to the lefty crowd and I guess they do as long as you want a .270, '06, 7 mag or 300 mag. Now...the only stainless offered is in the UM cartridges. What's up with that? I have a Browning Stainless Stalker coming as I sit here and complain about the Green Monster. I like Remington b/c of the available aftermarket accessories for left-hand rifles....stocks, etc. But still not as accurate as my Medallions....sorry Remington.

I cant argue with the trigger part..they were all pretty terrible when I got em..but it is an easy fix. Thats the first thing I'm gonna do to the new one. If they would work as hard at to get back to where they were quality wise as Savage has to get out of the doghouse they would be unstoppable.

OEH clearly stated his problem now WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? you probably got a case of HBIA otherwise known as Head Buried In A**.



He is probably 30 years old and a high school dropout with the mental capacity of a 10 year old in other words hes retarded but if he is in fact 15 years of age then probably has social issues where he has to come on here and call people out to feel better about himself.

Why does remington , winchester , etc have their factory trigger set so HIGH. 6-7lbs is way to high. My Abolt Medallion came with a 4 lb crisp trigger. I think they should not set it any higher than that.

Lawyers, liability.
