You said: "I worked on Rem's junk for years as a professional ..."

You work where ? Just exactly how many Remingtons have you fixed ? Your professional training was at ?

Amazing that the US Military got along for DECADES with a 700 as the primary sniper rifle. The USMC sniper platoon leader I roomed with during TET (you can look it up) had nothing but praise for the 700 and all the bad guys it had sent along to Viet-Cong heaven.

That 721 will still be filling freezers long after you are worm food.
