They're over priced. Guess Remington is trying to make some dollars after their bankruptcy. You know things are bad when they're trying to sell the business to the Navajo Nation. I wonder how many blankets they'll get. But, I do have a Model 700. After replacing the trigger (worst part about Remingtons)) with a timney, it's a real tack driver. I do, however, favor their two stage safety over my Winchester Model 70's three stage saftey.
