The newest 700 I have seen shot sub-MOA to 500+ yards.
So they must still be doing something right.

I have no complaints with any of my 700's either & 2 of those were made since the current owners took over.
Remington was historically run by a lot of genuine, hands on gun people, like Mike Walker, for example...........all that is gone now for the most part & the owners are investment bankers with a different view of the business.
I'm sure there are still lots of good, dedicated holdover workers & technical people from when Remington was the old company, not owned by Cerberus, but I guarantee you from experience, that when investment people buy a business that the view of the goals & performance of that business changes.
It also tends to have a major impact of how capital is invested & how R&D is done; also the view of the people doing the marketing usually changes from "what used to be" to "how it will be from now on".
The goal with most investment banker / group owned companies is to attempt to buy low, increase short term sales & flip the business at a significant profit.........sometimes the businesses are made better by the process, but, unfortunately, most times it is not.
