Hearing of bolt handles falling off and extractors breaking is irrelevant. What are my options? A 16 thousand dollar Model 70 ?

A Model 70 for the same price. Paid about 650 bucks (1995) for this one and as you can see it does shoot; right out of the box: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.lavikinga.com/jorge/Rojo_Target_setup_1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.lavikinga.com/jorge/jjr_8.jpg)

No need to try to convince me. There's not another rifle made with the track record of the 700. Are we talking a track record of accuracy, or are we talking a track record of trigger law suits. Seems like they're in a heap of trouble still with the never ending trigger issue. If they need adjustment best to have the factory do this. When done right there're the best..............in the world.

Well, someone had to eventually unseat JeffObama as the world's biggest internet/outdoors dumbphuck.
It took Swampman a Herculean effort to do it, but damn if he didn't keep trying 'til he suck-seeded...

I'm kind of enjoying watching his almost pathologically illogical, yet seemingly calm, responses to everyone. At least this is entertaining!

Seems like they're in a heap of trouble still with the never ending trigger issue. And let's not forget glued on bolts and flimsy, sheet metal extractors, and at the Professional Hunters examinations in Zimbabwe, they came in dead last for reliabilty in dangerous game situations with extractors that are prone to breakage if dirt gets in them, rounds popping out when the bolt was slammed open during quick load attempts,and of course the fact the POS safety, in addition to beig UNSAFE, does not lock the bolt down when engaged. Great track record.... Jorge, I have not been a hunter of dangerous game nor ever will be. In view of this I am in no position to comment on what the African professionals think of the Remingtons. I can only say I have used Remintons for something over 50 years and have NEVER experienced any of the problems you mentioned in your post. Not saying they have never happened but I have never seen it in my guns nor in those used by many friends. I know you constantly make reference to these "defects", however, as I said before, I have never experienced them. My safe contains a variety of makers guns and probably the most are Remingtons (I haven't gone down to the safe to count them.) I believe your point of reference is for the types of use you make of them. I'm sure thousands of users are like me and find your complaints a little hard to swallow. I don't buy Swampmans opinion but at the same time I don't agree with yours either. After 15 pages I think we all have to agree to disagree. Jim

In defense of JeffO he sometimes inserts foot in mouth but he can laugh at himself and once in awhile admits he is wrong. Swampman is in a class of dumb [bleep] that has no equal at this time or in all of recorded history. He is quite simply "The best in the World" in that category

No problem Jim. At least I can say that in my safe sits one very accurate Remington, a 22-250 stainless Heavy Barreled Varminter that's murder on chucks. But yes, we'll agree to disagree, I won't own another one. jorge

A Browning A-bolt or X-bolt, a real rifle, you got to be kidding. Name me one F-class or highpower shooter that uses an A-bolt or X-bolt action. I'm not saying Remingtons are the end all of rifles, but you can damn sure do worse.
