Nope, the rifle was brand new. If it was used Remington sent it to the LGS that way. I watched the clerk cut the box open so the problem was with Remington QC, not the local store.


Nothing in factory rifles comes directly from the manufacturer to your LGS. They all go through a distributorship where your LGS gets them from.


The local gun store sent all their 700's back to Remington for the trigger recall. This one was one of the first rifles that they received back. The distributor was not involved in the recall process.
