Not completely no, but it is a factual statement those three specific parts in the 700 fail more often. Of course one can buy a different stocks, sights, etc, but those three parts are an issue. If other rifles had the same problems, I'm sure somebody would have made an issue of it. I guess in the end we'll just have to agree to disagree and in my opinion Remington rifles are not for me. jorge


A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
