Ummmm, please don't take offense to this, but I'm calling balderdash on you.

You can call anything your heart desires but I am telling it like it is, if anything i am under the actual number i have bought.I will say that the one i have that has killed alot of game is a 25-06 rem 700 with hart barrel and I still have a bunch of remingtons.I am talking right out of the box sorry you don't believe it but its the truth. i once bought a 7mag with a friend getting one at the same time and his is a tack driver mine would not shoot for crap out of the box.I am jinxed on remingtons!

I will say I have never bought a sendero and they are supposed to be good out of the box but I will jinx them too

mound - W O W, man I never heard of anyone with that kind of bad luck. (seriously)

Maybe you should;

...1 Change your name..

...2 Change your address..

...3 Change your birth certificate.. < G R I N >

no kidding, but I will try again I do like the damn guns i just have had bad luck. I am not a remington hater and I would not hesitate to use a big bore rem action on dangerous game and I have done so.I just always have to spend so much on them compared to some others out of the box.

"If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all".....

Seriously, I've owned close to twice the amount that you have and had one that just flat-out wouldn't shoot. Twas a Remington Classic in .280.
I'd not be wasting my cheddar on lotto tickets if I were you. *grins*

All my remingtons have been THE BEST in the world....grins..especially the .257 that dumbfounded Nathan..

Again, my KS, and 5R shoot like crazy..nothing against remington.

Edited to say--Except the fact that the new(er) KS rifles are not nearly what they once were..

the bad luck doesn't spill over to lotto tickets. i hit 5 out of six several times in florida so i don't think i will ever buy enough to get at a loss. if you buy a remington that shoots let me know i might buy it if someone else shoots it first and they know it shoots under 3/4 of an inch.

I could go so far as to believe a sample of 3 to 5 might have been defective---at the extreme outside. However, 25 Remington 700's would not shoot? I would bet almost anything that you personally just can't shoot, that's likely the problem, I'm sure.

I'd agree with that, if only because the hunters are generally stuck with a limited area to hunt, say, only a couple hundred acres at most, and probably a lot less. None of my family's ground is more than 240 contiguous acres, though they have several pieces of ground of 40, 80, or 160 scattered over the county in various places. That pretty well mandates tree stands or some variation thereof.

Ula24--I doubt thats the problem as I have over sixty rifles that do shoot 3/4 inch or better including big bores that will shoot also.I have several savages that shoot 5/8 inch at 250 yards and i shoot several times a week.I will give you my ffl guy who has been getting guns in for over 20 years and he will tell you the same thing, just has not been my experience. That does not mean yours is not better but I have no reason to lie like I said i have many remingtons and they shoot great after work but for me NEVER out of the box

With that detailed explanation, I believe you. I just have seen so mant guys blame their rifles, when they just plain can't shoot. With that being said, you have truly been very unlucky with Remington. I have never heard anything like your run of bad luck before.

well i can tell you it almost as bad with kimber just not as many maybe six but rugers are even worse. i almost can't even fix them but the remingtons can be worked on then they shoot and shoot better than most.like i said my favorite gun is a remington 700 that i had tweaked and it will shoot.
