Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Do Remington actions have "softer" metal than other makes?

I actually did a couple hours of reading online, at various gunsmithing sites, and found that the std metals for the major actions are all really similar. What hardness they're treated to was a point for conjecture. Remingtons didn't exhibit any 'softness' compared to others. I tried to find anything from Jarrett about 700s being softer. No luck. So I'm going to call Bullshit.

Try drilling a hole in a 700!

As near as I can tell, the general consensus on Remington 700 CM actions is their Rc value is in the neighborhood of 36 (though the late Frank de Haas claimed a value of approximately 10 points higher), which is about the same as every other well-known mass produced CM rifle action. (Custom actions, such as Stiller, Surgeon, Borden, etc. appear to have slightly higher Rc values.)

This was mostly a rhetorical question to thump Dicky Austin and the usual load of dogshit he posts.

I said that is what I heard. I heard that some time ago when Kenny Jarrett was using Remington acctions for the basis of his gun builds.

Wow. You "heard." That's just f*cking awesome, Dicky. You're a kickass font of knowledge in other areas besides surfing, where you're the Larry Root of that sport. You hear things. And then post that you hear things. That's the true measure of an oracle.

Micro, I do not profess to be an expert on every given subject matter, but since a true expert was kind enough to share knowledge he worked hard to get, I have no problem passing that along. Bricktop is hawking some trigger thats been recalled and then engages an argument professing the high standard of quality for that same company. In typical bricktop fashion he dug into his homo porn picture collection and posted it up with some worthless comments when it was pointed out hes hawking recalled merchandise. His collection of homo porn is pretty vile and I'd have to say the subject looked puberty aged; questionable enough his pictures got pulled. It looked like kiddie porn. So maybe there is something bricktop is an expert on, but him having boy homo pictures isn't anything I want to see. Where does a guy get [bleep] like that. Sick bastard. Check the left hand fourms, or if you're so inclined and think it's ok I'd bet he'd share it with you. Have at it but don't put that [bleep] up for the rest of us.

Nobody likes a whiner, Dicky. Your ass got handed to you and you're trying to backpedal your way out.

The only person trying to avoid anything is you. Why post your boy homo pictures if you aren't proud; I'm sure you are, guess that little pea brain of your's realized - a little too late I might add - this isn't the crowd for your boy homo picture collection, sick bastard.
