Remington has never managed to make a trigger on the 700 they didn't then have to turn around and recall. I'd say the recalls speak for themselves. Combine that with bad extraction, mobile bolt handles, run away bolts, and a round bottom small lug action not conducive to anything more than a gopher round, and I think they could reasonably be tagged as the worst. I'm sure it bunches some panties, but those are the facts.
