[quote=sigguy]Only the newer models. I was shocked myself. One was a local shop and the other was a Cabelas.
That's odd just picked one up new at the local Cabelas. And yes, it shoot as good or better than any of my other brands.
Yeah Cabelas sells new 700's, they just won't take newer ones in on trade. I went to the one in Tulalip. They told me that they were concerned with the recalls and would need proof that my gun hadn't been affected, and even then would not offer a competitive price. Usually they are pretty easy to deal with and offer good trade in prices.
Are my experiences of trying to trade in a like new stainless 700 proof of a degradation of Remington's reputation? Not necessarily, however it will make me personally think twice about purchasing another for the time being.
This is not a judgement on the newer 700 accuracy, as mine have been great. The newer trigger is made from cheap pot metal, though IMO.
