This is merely one mans opinion, but I wonder if we're going the same route with firearms that we went with automobiles. There's all this obsession with the bottom line and bean counters in recent years. It's not inconceiveable that we stop buying US firearms on favor of Sakos, Tikka, CZ, Howa and the like. I've always been a big fan of Remington, but they're no better now than the rest. I bought 3 in a row, new, that required glass bedding the action, barrel floating and trigger work, an extra $250., just to make them shoot as well as my older Remington 700s. My most recent, a Remington 700BDL in .25-06 is a real loser. It turned me off Remington for all time, and I don't think I'm alone. The only one making an effort today seems to be Savage, and that's still a crapshoot. I'm curious as to others views on this. It isn't meant to start a flaming war. I'm really concerned. Best wishes.
