From what I'm reading, few people like the new "Remlins" as they're called. Lots of quality control problems, including something called a droopy barrel. It seems that the receiver was not threaded properly on many guns and the barrels point downward with the result that there isn't enough correction in the sights to hit point of aim. Remington has since addressed the issue but I'm sure that many such defective guns remain in user hands.
There's much more information over at the Marlin forum.
