Like I said Remington, owns Marlin.
There have been no quality issues with Remington. That's a myth perpetuated by dealers selling off brands.
Typical Remington fan club BS. You must not have looked at many Remington 700 made in the last few years to state that. I've looked at several including bore scoping them. Typical late model 700's issues include bad bores with chatter marks, chambers that look like they were cut with a chisel, bolt timing off, bad crowns & bedding etc etc.
10-15 years ago Remington 700's were a gun most anyone would be proud to own. I wouldn't use a new one for a canoe paddle.
