I own a Mdl 700 BDL in 7mm Rem. Magnum, a Mdl 1100 in 12 Ga. Magnum, and a Mdl 788 in 222 Remington. All are fine quality guns. The newest of those was purchased over 40 years ago. The only problem I had with any one of them was a factory recall to upgrade the trigger on the model 700.
Two years ago I purchased a model 700 in .270 Winchester for a graduation present for my Grandsons High School graduation. The stock was molded fiberglass(?) and the fit and finish weren't up to the quality of the older firearms. It does shoot well with three shots going into 1" or thereabout groups at 100 yds. So far no problems. But I am off of purchasing anything Remington.
I do have several Marlin manufactured fireamrs which were purchased long before being gobbled up by Remington.
