remingtons are just as good as any other production rifle in the same price range.

i dont see the Jlock going anywhere anytime soon, unless we swap out the bolt shroud ourselfs. i have two that im planning to swap out to get rid of the j-lock.

ive had rem 700 for 10 years now, with no problems at all. this rifle is chamberd in 270win and has killed every game animal ive laid crosshairs on, from ground squrels to elk and everything in between.

if and when my bolt handles break ill replace and upgrade them so they dont break again. yeah you shouldnt have to do this but ohhhwell.

latly ive also found flaws in my rugers. ive got two of them, one old one and one new. the bolt will actualy hit the top edge of the action as your slidding it towards the chamber. it hits it square edged with thunk. most times you dont notice. but i had everything just right one day as i was feeding a round. bolt just stopped dead. as four letter words were realing through my mind. puld back on the bolt and pushed forward and chamberd the round like nothing every happend. now about year later i found the problem in my tang safety rugger. where it had been forgetn from the year before.

im blabbing all this to show that there a problems with all rifles. as much as wed like to think difrent.

it all comes down to prefrence, dadded tassed me the 270win rem 700 when i was very young. been remington guy ever since, but realize i need more exsperince and more rifle varty past the ruger and winchesters that i have now to realy say yay or nay on if remintons are the lemons of the bunch. as of right now i think they are no lemon




Skinny.

look up the reminton police website, the new hs stock looks to be whats mounted under the LTR RIFLE.
