Seems my opinion isnt so far off. I have visions of what TD just described happening.
A guy I know just got one and hauled it out of his truck to show me just proud as punch. Hes a good guy, but not very well versed in guns. My first thought, since it was the first one I had seen, was wow, that looks cheap. But, you hate to put someones pride and joy down to their face, especially since he just got it. Its chambered in 300 Win Mag. Pretty hammerin round, to say the least. Not a popgun for sure.
I got to looking at it and feeling around. First I thought the bolt was plastic. I guess its not, but its not heavyweight. The action didnt feel right on it either. The barrell didnt look right either. My first thought was, I wouldnt load this thing and put it against my cheek and pull that trigger for anything.
I got home and looked it up on Rems website then several other websites while waiting for replys here. I think my first impression may have been right. Plastic trigger assembly. Does that mean the safety is plastic too? Dont know about that, but if there is steel and plastic connected, there has to be a weak link there. Pressed barrell. Everything about it is cheap.
I dont know about this gun. I hope I didnt hurt anyones feelings, but I think Im going to contact this guy before he shoots it and try to get him to trade it in on a Savage or some other less expensive gun that is at least safe. This is scary.
