Worst instance of a major gun manufacturer putting their name on a crap rifle - Rem 710/770 series
We can close the thread now. For a long time I thought the Raptor rifle was going to be unbeatable (Charter Arms bought it and improved it and Mossberg bought it from them and improved it some more, but it was really rough in its original incarnation.)
But Remington managed to sink even lower with the 710/770. It makes a Bic lighter look like a shining example of Old World craftsmanship. When I worked at a gun shop the buyer bought two sight unseen. They ended up as door prizes for a hunt club dinner because none of the salesmen would show them to customers.
Yep, the 710/770 is the low point for modern centerfire rifle production. And I hope it remains so.
