I’ve posted a few questions on the forum and asked some people about different rifles. One rifle I’m considering is the Remington 700 Mountain SS.
If I decided to go for a Remington rifle, I know I’ll probably end up with a decent one. It seems like the horrible QC of several years back has improved even if it’s not great. But I’m not an expert in firearms by any means. I own two bolt action rifles and shoot them and clean them, but I’m no gunsmith. So what could I do looking at a Remington in the store before purchasing (or in the inspection period after ordering online) to check for issues? What are things you would add to a checklist before buying a rifle with a spotty reputation for quality control?
