Despite the Schitty bedding job, too many pieces in the trigger, pizz poor bolt design mine shoots decent, not great but decent. Maybe the Japs need a lesson in rifle building. As for the 870's being perfect I can tell you a few stories of "Lemons" in that breed too, as well as a 7600 making a few trips to a Remington authorized repair center before having to go to Remington to get a new barrel and extractor, last Remmy for me that was made after mid 80's. I think I have even heard of Remington having a few recalls in the last few years, maybe just hearsay though. Yes back in the day I don't think you could beat them but nowadays not so.
