Easy to pull the firing pin out when bumping shoulders too.
I really like a the fixed blade ejector too.

The new 700 are made in your neighborhood. Huntsville. Whats the status since the bankruptcy? Kimber is now in Troy, which is about 30 miles from home. Hear they were gearing up to start production again. Being in the manufacturing business myself, I can understand fully how companies quality goes to shiit. Substandard raw materials, cost cutting, very little training, not reinvesting in machinery, labor reductions, no succession planning, leadership with with no manufacturing experience, bean counters at the helm only caring about their next position, etc. Bottom line is the 700 is a great design. Perfect? Is there such a thing? Perfect only exists to people who get comfortable and lazy. Bottom line.....management.... ALWAYS FUUCKS THINGS UP.

I don't think that there's any question that a 700 can shoot better than "fine". My point is there are certainly many valid reasons to go custom over a 700.

The beauty about living in the USA is we have lots of options to choose from whatever it may be. Purchase what suits you best and enjoy the ride.

If I was going to compete again in whatever shooting discipline, I would go custom. For hunting and recreation, 700 with prefits, 805, stock and glass of the day suffice for me.

I'm sure that's true for a lot of us. Things changes. Better options become available for not much more $$$ in the scheme of things, but the old still works.

Compare actions to the auto 🚘 industry. They know how to build them but they still recall them.

Slobob, thank you. I will continue to shoot Remington actions, leupold scopes, and Talley lw’s. One thing is a constant, the folks that bitch the most about em, don’t do a whole lotta killin. I’m a killer, a hunter, not a prc shooter. For what I do, I love em and am extremely happy with all 3. I don’t care if you, your buddy, or some dummy that a coworker knows has a “failure”. I do what I do, and it works, that’s what I care about. Good luck “shootin” this year.
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

judman i wish you no extractor failures or broken bolt handles or spring issues in your triggers.as stated i still have 2 90s rems left new in box which will be fully worked over and barrelled to benchrest standards and only because i am a accuracy fanatic.i have zero against anyone who shoots factory within the capability of the cartridge or there known ability.just since you stated you hunt most likely more than most what are some of your preferred cartridges and most enjoyable game.thanks in advance.remember try to not attack others with the dummy assertion.it isnt respected so much by the majority.thanks and look forward to your opinion.

Bob, I'm a big boy, I tramp around to numerous locales yearly, been huntin one of, if not the wettest gross parts of the country there is, for 40 years, yep I was coon huntin and running a trap line at 6, if I don't know what works by now, its waaaaay too late... As I said prior, good luck this season. Got some stuff lined out already, the last thing I'm worried about, is my gear.👍

I have always felt that it was always possible to learn something from everyone. After reading through this thread, I'm not so sure. GD
