That sums it up for me as well.

I guess you only really have strong feelings about these things if they happen to you or see it happen to someone (first hand). Otherwise it's a bit abstract.

Anything can break of course but not much sense stacking odds against yourself.Humans are known as a species for ignoring lessons of the past.Americans in particular seem to like to buy things that will break,which is why manufacturers get to charge us more money for warranties,which tells us from the purchase they expect you will need it.

Much as I like and have used Remingtons,I won't build on one(except for varmints),and don't plan doing any serious hunts with one. Hunts are expensive.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
