Remingtons were/are great rifles when put in McM stocks.
They are missing the boat mightily when it comes to what's new, but there are some great deals floating around on used. Zero desire to pay for new.
Loved the Titanium, hated the BC stocks. In an Edge, about as good as it gets.
M7 Saums, XCR/XCR2, SS ADL/BDL, and SS MR all put in your favorite McSwirly or Edge stocks are great, functional hunting rifles.
Agreed, the current prices for new Remington 700s are so high, in most cases, that they aren't competitive with many other manufacturers, particularly if you're going to swap stocks. The 700 SPS for under $400 at Wal-Mart is probably the best Remington deal if you're looking for a donor action or barreled action.
Many of my Remington 7, 600, 660, 700, and 722 rifles are bedding in McM stocks, mostly in the McM Hunter style if they have 24" barrels or the MR style if they have barrel less than 24" long. Plus, I still have a smattering of Remington bolt guns bedded McM's BDL, Classic, Compact, Rem Hunter, and Seven styles.
