I have never owned a bad Remington rifle, of any kind. I also know what to stay away from.

Remington Guns.... Sucked from around 1998 until whenever they went broke the first time shortly thereafter. And ever since.
Thread closed. Finally!!!!!!! You guys are listening! Remington Sucks!!!! I bought several during that timeframe and never got a bad one. 🤷♂️ Same here. Still shooting most of them.

All I can say is the REM 742// 30.06 I received as a gift in 1982 still kills a deer every year... and it has never jammed , but I shoot cheap 150 gr. Corelokts in it so I am living on borrowed time...so I guess every Remington but mine sucks.

I think its a great gun.

I have never owned a bad Remington rifle, of any kind. I also know what to stay away from. My son and i went in on a 770 for him when he was 6yo. It shoots straight but it has the worst action i ever seen on a gun. Its just aweful. I reckon you knew to stay away from a 770?

I bought several during that timeframe and never got a bad one. I bought a Model 700 Stainless CDL in 2020. If there is anything wrong with it I haven't found it yet. Shoots good. Nice fit and finish. And a very smooth action.

Several model 7’s,1100’s, 870’s every one has gone bang when I pulled the trigger. I’ve personally had no problems out of them. Ymmv

Stay with a Model 7 or a Model 700 Both are fine rifle series. 1962 to 1999 would be my preference.

I have to agree about the Bergara rifles. They are what Remington shoulda done with the 700

Reading their website, it appears they are putting 5R barrels and timney triggers on the new 700s. Thats a good start. Need to relocate the bolt release up to the side and get rid of that stupid tab in front of the trigger too! All but the Alpha 1 and police model will have the "Impact" non-adjustable Timney Triggers .
