I can honestly say I have never had a 700 old or new with a single problem and I have had/do have a bunch.
I have seen a few - a slim few - with all I've owned or worked on that had some issues that should have never made it past QC.
Thing is, they are a manufactured product, shucks happens.
Yeah they had some serious issues with the Marlin rifles. They got those worked out.
Honestly, the only thing I don't like about a new Remington or Marlin now was that awful bluing that would rust if you look at it hard.


There are two types of gun enthusiasts ... Those who have been F#CKED by PTG and those who will be!
