Can't hold a candle to the ones they made 20+ years ago.
Me and my brother snagged some BDLs in walmart about 20 yrs ago on a mismatch price. They priced the r700s as 200$ instead of 450 so we got 2 of them for 400.
I have two 700 BDL's, both .270's, from 1980's, one with 3x9 Denver Redfield Illuminator my deer gun, and the other, same but with 4x12 Nikon, still in airline case, never fired, never used, as new.
The new shit, is just that...shit.
They are shit compared to a Winchester m70
They do still exist today,there just renamed Bergara 😂
@@jacksonsinclair2615 you buy guns at Walmart 😂😂😅
It absolutely breaks my heart watching Remington crank out garbage since 2010.
Remington shotguns would like to know your location.
Why do you think this rifle ks garbage? What in this video shows bad quality? I'm not familiar with these tests. Is it because the paper teared?
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess no, ever since 2010 Remington has produced very shitty gun. They decided to start building cheap and it is obvious when you use one of their new guns. They’re pretty much laughed at now in the hunting world.
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess Paper should fit easily between the barrel and stock, if they are in contact you can't expect to enjoy the true accuracy potential of the rifle.
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincessI have the same exact gun. It’s inaccurate, made like shit and it doesn’t shoot good with any bullet weight out there
So you basically just paying for the action.
No special Ed you're paying for a well built gun you and this guy are just dumb as shit
That’s the base model rifle that sells for $200 or so more than the action. There are models with better barrels and stocks, they just cost more
@@codycason6373 your not getting that for 200 more like 400
@@kimber45auto77 our local shop up here was clearing they put for 370 cad$. Lots of shops trying to make space for new production models
@@kimber45auto77 $200 more than the action itself, so about 4-500
Remington has a speed bump in the forend of just about every 700 stock. It often shoots fine with the forend pressure. If not, grind it out. Use the allen wrench to adjust the trigger.
Right
👍 as soon as I seen him show us the barrel wasn’t free floated I knew this was a click bait video. Like was said there is pressure points in the stock that can be removed if needed. What can I say about the trigger. If I was Remington and have been sued to death already over a good trigger you would be getting a 10lb non adjustable trigger but they are still giving you an adjustable one.
Can you adjust the trigger on the 700 adl???
Glass bed it before you grind it out
Unless it’s the pro trigger it won’t adjust ?
This short should be titled "When you spend $500 on a rifle and expect to get $1500 quality."
Correct title should be you paid $600 for a gun that's worse quality than a $400 savage
Why would quality have to go down? Weatherby Vanguard and Howa didn’t go down. They kept their quality and prices rose according to inflation. So did Savage. Remington lost their place, for all time, to Bergara, which makes a better Remington 700, at inflation prices, than Remington does now, or even 20 years ago. If you argue against that, it proves you do not own a B-14 or a m700… from any era!
@kingwiththeax6880 Exactly. I purchased a Rem 700 last October. Thought it was worth the $800 I paid. I wasn't expecting $1500 quality. Got home, put the bolt in, ran the action a few times. Went to take the bolt out to mount the base and punch the barrel. The bolt stop was broke! Just wiggled around in the trigger guard. Had the rifle less then 6 hours.
Next day returned it to the dealer. The rifle wasn't fixed and sent back until April 18! 6 months! For a bolt stop. Luckily my dealer was willing to work with me, and I got a different brand that I've now been shooting since December. The dealer called me to see if I wanted first dibs on buying the fixed rifle. Nope, should never need to wait 6 months for a broken bolt release.
The die hard Remington fan boys can make excuses and insult others. Doesn't change the fact Remington isn't the company they were, and in the all the price categories are way behind most current makers.
The correct title would be, when you spend 600 dollars on a gun, and get 200 dollar quality
Well, I won mine at the RMEF banquet, and it was absolute junk! It would jamb 3 times in 10 cycling's of the bolt. I hunt in grizz country, and a rifle that jambs isn't worth packing!
I have an older Model 700 BDL 270 with a Leopold 4 x12 scope, walnut stock, and a trap door magazine. I actually converted it from the original ADL to a BDL a gunsmith friend of mine had the full walnut stock he had taken off of a BDL, so I did a swap, its been the best shooting rifle I've ever owned.
Can't turn a ADL into a BDL with a 22 inch barrel and I had a 270 ADL. Put a Boyd's stock on it got it glass bedded and floated barrel. Its a shooter but putting a plate on the bottom don't make it a BDL
Unless you just drilled out the ADL stock and mounted the BDL receiver and barrel. Had to be what you did to keep it a BDL
I’ve got a brand new produced 700 SPS tac in 308 and it’s a great rifle. Not sure why everyone is bashing em. Sure they don’t feel like the 80s rems but it shoots lights out.
Same, i got an sps in 223, and sure, it doesn't have as smooth of an action as my tikka, but boy, it's the most accurate and fun rifle I've ever shot.
I have an SPS tactical in 308 that doesn't feed without the force of God pushing on the bolt and won't allow me to pull the bolt out using the bolt retention system with the button in the trigger guard. Mine's a massive piece of shit.
Bought a 700 BDL in 1980 in 30-06. Was an incredible gun. Sorry new one aren't as good
Bought mine in 1993 (well my Dad did because I was 12), I've hunted whitetail with it every year since.
@@Rippinsmallies your trying to comare your tikka to a 1993 rifle thats sad lol
Remington doesn't free float 700 ADL barrels and you can adjust the trigger.
well i mean the trigger has an adjustment screw and was advertised adjustable but yeah it basically adjust from super heavy to heavier lol...
Well that’s a reaction to the lawsuits from the hair triggers they used to have.
@@troywesterbur706 went a little overboard
@@Bullets4Bucks I agree but it’s the world we live in. Remington has really gone downhill. It has become hard for them to make money with the lawsuits especially for bushmaster. They have tried to make budget rifles. I had a 700 in the 90s and it cost more in 96 than it does now. That cost reduction came at a quality reduction.
Just drop a timney in it and you're g2g
I have purchased one, and it performs perfectly.
Best $217.00 I've ever spent for a firearm,, even came with a 3x9x40 scope, oh and it's chambered in .243
One of the new ones?
217? must have been before the bankruptcy. theyre more than twice that now.
@@theduke7539 purchased at Walmart, managers clearance sale, 2019
@@jeffconnolly1641 ah. I bought a 308 one at walmart to rip apart and rebarrel. Paid 289 for it in 2019. But they sell for like 599 for the short action and 699 for long action now, its a crime practically
I have a 25 year old 700 in 308 and that thing is great
buy a Tikka or X bolt and don't look back
You definitely got good taste my man
My LGS has a Tikka that always catches my eye but it's been there for over 1½yrs., so I'm guessing it's to pricey.
@@thorseim7177 or buy a tikka bc it shoots better than both
I have them all. They all gotta be cited in properly and first shot take a deer down
@Tony Asmar I will admit to bias since I sell both. I am a bit of a Ruger fan boy for revolvers , M77, No1 and the Minis but we just got in some Ruger American centrefires.. holy rough hard bolt and savage axis quality stock.. an XPR is smoother and softer with a better feeling stock and cheaper. I will say too, that Browning really has nice camo patterns now that they're designing their own.
My new CDL breaks at 3.5 pounds and shoots good
I've been currently tweaking the trigger on my deer rifle. I bought a 1903 Springfield for $110 after ffl and taxes. Cabela's fucked up and had it marked for $75. someone sportarized it in the 60s. I threw a timney trigger in it. Last I brought it to my gunshop we weighed it between 1.5lbs and 1.9. it was difficult to get an accurate reading, there's no take up. It just breaks. one of the times it broke at 0.94 but we chalked it up to an error.
It doesn't need to be drop safe if you don't drop it right? Lol.
I have a fairly new CDL SF in 270 win and it shoots bug eyes right out of the box with factory ammo.
@youngin881 just bought one haven't shot it yet
Love the Remington model 700 in any caliber.Bought one 55 years ago in 308 Win.Still have it.
That's awesome
I bought one new in 67 for $129.99 + tax. I was 15. Now paperwork other than a receipt and no questions.
That's $1138.97, in 2022 dollars. Time flies.
I remember going to gun shows and people not giving a damn how old you were lol.
Booth guy: "You 18?"
Me at 16: "Yep"
Guy: "Alrighty then enjoy your new SKS."
I HAD a 1982 era ADL with the Dupont finish. 243 Cal. and it would put 3 in a dime at 100 yards with reloads. HAD ☹
I have an 1982 ADL 7mm rem mag shes my pride and joy
I don't see the fail, these polymer stocked rem 700 are budget, bust out the dremel and sand out the foreend, free floated in less than 10min, use the allen wrench to adjust the trigger
If you wanna get extra spicy with the trigger, take the assembly out and polish it up, you can easily get most Xmark pros down to 2.5ish lbs
I set mine in Magpul floating furniture anyways. Anyone expecting greatness out of the budget mode stock is a bit naive at this price
or grab an mdt chassis and a timney trigger.
Mdt chassis would be wasted on such a shit action
@keenanbartlome8153 I put my 300wm in a MDT ESS chassis, it's sick! Waiting to get a barrel for it now.
Welp that solves that debate I was having😂😂😂
First thing to do is a new stock, new trigger, new trigger guard, new barrel, new bolt, new action. Lol. I used to be a Rem 700 Fanboy, loving my 700 Adl 7mm. Rem mag.
I have a bergara Wilderness Terrain now and I regret nothing. A little heavier but hands down an incredible shooter and worth every penny
"Fanboy"
No homo
Well, that's how it goes. When you expect a $1200 rifle for $400, you are the problem, not the rifle.
Lol, it's like 600 now, and for 600, I expect better. No one said anything about expectations in this video, though. The stock is a pile of crap.
Nah man, these are genuinely just bad products in comparison to what they should be, and have the capability to be. Especially compared to the competition in the price range.
@@GetTheFOI’d rather take a Ruger American over this
@@spawntaneous1903 Oh absolutely. I don’t think I’ve heard of anything bad about them other than what you’d expect finish-wise for the price point.
@@GetTheFO And then games turn them into good products 😐
The trigger is adjustable. I would at the very least glass bed the recoil lug.
What does glass bed mean? Never heard this term before. Maybe i can learn it and donit to my guns. Is it useful?
@@cristopperhamilton-gl6jb Every rifle doesn't fit the stock exactly the same. Glass bedding is a layer of epoxy between the stock and metal that fills in any gaps and makes a perfect fit. The recoil lug of most rifles sits down in the stock and it's a pretty loose fit. Google it. They call it glass bedding because it used to be done with fiberglass. I like to do my own but gunsmiths will also do it. Watch a few videos of the pros and cons.
@@JamesJones-cx5pk thanks man. Will go check it out now.
Float the barrel, glass bed The Recoil lug and Tang and back those trigger screws out and you may have a great shooter. I've got a 1989 model 300 Win Mag in a 700 BDL and a 1995 model 270 in a 700 ADL both with the triggers set around two pounds and they are under half MOA rifles with nothing else done to them. I'm sure the new ones aren't built nearly as well as the old ones but they may still shoot with a little bit of attention
My new Remington 870 6+1 made by RemArms just got tested by me with 100 rounds of 00 Buck and it performed great, fit and finish with the wood is amazing. Sorry yours didn’t work out, maybe this was a leftover from the previous owners of the company
No reason to buy Rem 700 now. By the time you pay $600 for the action, $200 for the trigger and $500 to square it you already have enough money to just buy an $1100 custom action.
I bought a Curtis Axiom, WTO Switch lug and barrel from MPA for $1475. That’s a steal for what I got. $1100 action, $135 lug and a $600 barrel that should be $750.
The switch lug is amazing. You unscrew the set screw, unthread the barrel by hand, screw on a different caliber barrel hand tight, torque the set screw on the lug to 30 inch pounds and you’re back in business. Takes about 3 minutes!
Thanks for the info.
For $329 they aren't too bad
@Hugh Mongus the base model adl 700 is over 500 in usa
@Hugh Mongus they can make and sell more and import tax
@Hugh Mongus Mauser makes a better rifle.
Perfect gun for guys who have family members who are gun smiths. 😂 Love my Remingtons but they are all trued beded trigger replaced and have kriegers.
Ive got a Shillen on mine, but Krieger makes fantastic barrels
I only view Remington 700 ADLs as barreled actions. I haven't been disappointed with one in an Archangel AA700B or MDT LSS-XL yet.
It's an SPS with a varmint barrel. Swap the stock, upgrade that trigger if it won't adjust, and rock out! Same barreled action as the 700P.
Yup I threw on the bell and Carlson light tactical on it and it’s a completely different rifle. As well as some trigger work.
These type of stock on 700’s come with “pressure pads” on the front of, so the barrel won’t free float
You have to grind those out. About identical to my 23 year old one
@@sandsock * That's not hard to do, but I'd shoot it before messing with it.
Bought mine from my local Walmart chambered in 308 for 263$ the scope was zeroed in too. My luckiest purchase😊
Good stuff
I've got one I bought new from Cabelas in 2013, it's identical to yours.
It's a freaking tack driver, and 100% reliable.
For what I paid for it, and knowing what I was buying I couldn't be happier with it.
Remington actually supports the barrel at the fore end.
If you take the action out there should be 2 little proud spots. At least that’s what I have seen in the past it increases accuracy supposedly. Mine shot great older model 7. Eric cortina 6.5 Needsmore series had 2 factory Rems and they shot pretty good. Till we see a target we really can’t judge. Good day
?? They shot terrible. Thats why its called the need more series. Because it needed more upgrades to get to sub moa
Get a Howa for under 500 bucks. You a get a threaded heavy barrel, 3.5 factory trigger, Free floating bedded stock. "Don't need much more" lmaoo seriously though. Remington, you are just paying for the action and the after market accessories at this point. Older models are legit. Newer models no.
@@MrMcguffin007 👍
@@MrMcguffin007 I never have seen a good remington. Not even the old ones are good. About the best thing they made was 870s.
@@MrMcguffin007 and you can fill the howa factory with all the Gold Medals the 700s have won ... not so much with howa
Not seeing the problem with it
Bought an ADL Deluxe 7mm RemMag back in 1990. She is both beauty and beast, 3.75lb trigger, still MOA, still feeding the family. Seeing this made my soul hurt for Remington.
Agreed
It's a base model, no fancy finishing just a good barrel and action, you can make it a show peice with a sweet trigger yourself, or just order a higher grade ,the metal is going be exactly the same but turned and polished, & trigger pre worked ect.
I payed $700 for mine in commifornia lol ended up throwing the magpul 700 L hunter stock on it it’s wayyy better now and has a free floating barrel cuz of the magpul stock🔥🔥🔥
So you know you live in. Communist country and you CHOOSE to live there?! It must not be that bad then huh?!??.? Hell why not move to China.... I can't believe you felt comfortable admitting you choose to live there...
Freedom group and newer Remington s will NEVER be the same as the old ones
I agree
I was lucky to get a R700 200th anniversary addition solid walnut and engraved. Love it.
my model 70 in 243 has never failed me got it for a steal
My .243 adl will group 3 shots within a nickel. I do hand load though
Mine did the same with factory ammo
@@williamsonnie9935 mine would with factory loaded Remington 80 grain hollow points but they became hard to find.
Isn't the weight of the trigger pull adjustable?
Yes, but it’s still considered heavy by most people.
Most of THAT group of people just have bad shooting fundamentals though.
It's the entry level rem 700 guarantee can run some core lokts threw it and it will be a excellent deer gun 300 and in with nothing more than a good scope and mount. They never were free floated barrels. Just good solid hunting weapons.
Interesting
I have a 70's in 30-06 !! Had it glass bedded and it's a tack driver !!
Nice
I have Remington 700 BDL .270 that I was given for my birthday in 1974. Its a tack driver too with my reloads you can normally cover 3 shots with a quarter at 100yrds.
Bought the wood stock version of the ADL back in the 80s. I like it
I think they are good rifles
i agree, tossed the stock and got a different one and i love it, changing the trigger next
I have one of these in .243 and found that the gun is very front heavy and the bolt likes to catch sometimes.
Interesting
"Damn that's a fancy gell ball blaster"
"wait a minute-"
Fails at what? This is an excellent rifle for the price, and if you throw it in a mdt chassis it’ll compete with anything. Hating on 700s 14 years after the drama is like hating on creed or nickelback
It's an ADL, not a BDL or CDL. You get what you pay for.
Or, in this case, less than you could get paying for a different brand lol
Things even worst. If you touch any part of the barrel and don't wash it within 24 hours it'll start to rust.
I got the 700 adl tactical years ago stock was asbsolute garbage same problem as the new no free float in the barrel, it did have the xmark pro trigger which was nice ,changed the stock out for a Magpul and it’s been performing excellent since
I have a 700 in 270 from 2010 or so and its basically a hair trigger from factory shoots like a dream
Have one, an SPS Youth model of similar vintage in 7mm-08, all I did was put a better stock. Really clean, light trigger, action is like butter.
@@anthonykaiser974 they are great hunting rifles many deer and elk have fallen to mine and i take care of it so ill never have to replace it dont even think i would want too
I bought one just for action. Threw the rest of it away
That’s all they are good for. Cheap action for a build.
I mean I’d rather have a wooden stock anyway so…
Every new remington 700 I've owned and currently owned I've been able to get to shoot under moa. I sand out the contact pads at end of stock, open barrel channel a little bit. Then bed only the recoil lug. I've never needed to do the whole action just the recoil lug. And I add 4 wraps of electrical tape on barrel at end of stock during the bedding to achieve a nice float. If it has a new x mark pro trigger that actually adjust down then I adjust to 2.5lbs if not I order s timney and set at 2.5. Some of the x mark pros adjust nicely some don't hardly move at all. Then I work up a load it likes and they consistently shoot sub moa. Not that much work for a solid action and barrel. But yet they were once a much more solid rifle from factory. We just have to make up for minor things they have left out to save money.
My first ever rifle i purchased 5 years ago. 700 ADL came with a 3x9x40 scope and it's a 308. Haven't had any issue with shooting it. it's time to upgrade the stock on it.
How can a company in 2023 produce a bolt action with no free floated barrel and almost 6lbs trigger pull?
This is an older remington made my remington before the bankruptcy. The new ones made by remarms are quite different and a whole different story quality wise. And price wise.
I bought plenty of cheap plastic dressed bolt actions that were free floated and shot we'll but I want most of them in Walnut and not plastic.
I love mine.
So sad what Remington has become. I bought a Remington CDL in .270 back in 94, and it was a beauty.
I got a Remington .223 700 SPS Varmint on a trade for a Seevens 200 .223 + $249 bucks (hinged floorplate), Ditched the UNLFOATED factory stock, and bought a Stockys M-50 Full length aluminum bed, fully floated, ditched the XMark Pro trigger dropped in a Timney Elite Hunter set at 1.5 lbs. It shoots 1/2 MOA with my pet load all day. Total cost for my build was about what I could get a new Walnut CDL for.
I paid 399 for that same exact gun. Which if built up is capable of military duty. For the price not a bad gun to start with
Sweet deal
”If built up” means you trow away everything but the action😂
@@snarf9455 pretty much and while you collect the thousands it takes you still have a functioning rifle instead of an action in the safe just sitting lol and evtuslly a clone correct m40 which can’t just be bought
am i missing something it seems just fine

Wow nice
I bought a Remington 700 ADL 308 when i got out of the army in 1971 and its wonderful.
Cool
The 700 has won more trophies than all others combine !
Maybe. Certainly, 700 footprint actions have.
@@Bullets4Bucks It still a Remington 700. Be it the action or the rifle!
If your gun comes in a box with styrofoam you're probably in for a rough time
I bought an SPS, didnt have to worry about a bad trigger, and ditched the factory stock.
Ok, I must need some glasses or something cause I don't know where there's a fail here
I feel like it's click bait. 😮💨
Yes the answer is yes. Buy a Ruger their $400 dollar guns are better then that spend a thousand and get a nice model 77 that comes with real confidence in you rifle
Dude, you’re not buying a semi-custom or custom rifle. It’s a cheap bare bones Remington at a lower price point. Stop.
It's like 600 bucks now, so no shit but it's still not supposed to be an airsoft grade stock
It's literally a pile of garbage compared to similar priced rifles on the market
@@Bullets4Bucks and the games make a pile of garbage good by just buffing up
I remember in 1987, I bought a Remington 700 adl in 30-06 (new) from Wal Mart 297.00, fantastic rifle.
Got one of those used. It has the best trigger of anything I've shot.
I have a 2010s era Remington Model 700 Varmint, it’s the #6 contour barrel .308 and it shoots wonderfully, just the trigger is so heavy. It is a good rifle, but I’ve also played with a 2019 production one and it sucked, though it was an ADL. I’d say that the rifles were sub-par, but I see at least the newer ADLs are better than the one I had in 2019, I need to play with the newer ones
They gave you a wrench to adjust the trigger. Set it where you want it and take it to the range see what it does and post the results. You may have nothing to complain about. This is an entry level 700.
I have a Rem 700 chambered in 35 Whelen from 1989, amazing gun, I get in love with that action, It is a pitty that Remington has forget atention to detail, The Rem 700 its a gret rifle
My grandpa has a model 700 in 270 (one of the older ones not like this one) and it’s a great rifle, shame to see it’s gone downhill.
I have a 1960s ADL 280 and it’s runs smooth , I love that rifle, it’s was my Dad’s gun that he gave to my mother for Christmas in early 1960s
Cool
My savage axis has a 6 pound trigger out of the box, I went to M Carrboro and got a 2.5 pound trigger spring and bushing kit. The whole thing took about 15 minutes to install and it is a night and day difference from out of the box.
I was born and raised on Remington like there was no other brand and have a safe full of hand me downs and self bought to prove it , the oldest produced in 1910 but the inability to replace parts even if you never need to is turning me sour on the brand. Just bought a browning o/u to shoot clays and while I’m not gonna run out of working Remington shotguns I’m not gonna buy one for anyone starting out.
Guys I bought one of those in 243 and it groups as good as my old BDLS I had to send it back for one of the usual new Rem recalls they claimed the trigger might have to much bonding agent on it it took 3 months but Rem paid for it all and it works fine just like the old Big Greens
I’ve contemplated picking up a 700 action to build a Remage switch barrel project rifle. It might be one of those ideas that’s better in theory than in practice.
My rifle started out like this. I the best way to fix the stock is as follows:
Step 1. Remove stock
Step 2. Throw stock away
Step 3. Purchase aftermarket stock
But in all seriousness I was able to build out a “semi-custom” rifle for a fraction of the cost of a true custom and it is a tack driver. The x-mark pro trigger as pictured here gets a lot of bad reviews but with some tinkering I was able to get mine to a very good hunting weight and still be safe. Eventually I will swap out the factory barrel but for now it is accurate and I see no need to spend the money. I spent extra money to turn mine into a BDL but that’s not necessary and if I had to do it again I might not.
I have a 78 Sportsman in 308 that is a damn good rifle. made in 1985 I believe. it's a tack driver out to 500yds and it never hiccups. the first rifle I paid for all on my own when I was 14!
Rem should bring back the 720.that would be nice.
Yeah between the non floated or threaded barrel, the meh trigger, cheap stock, and the steel finish falling off and rusting, the 700s aren't what you would call the cream of the crop.
But for a time they were accurate enough at a cheap enough price for the military.
I dropped my ADL in a H&S stock and it shoots pretty well. For the money that I have in it, I’m happy.
In my ROTC program, we have marksmanship where we fire airsoft rifles, and they were brand new when we shot them, and almost a year later, im now a 1st lieutenant for marksman ship, meaning i oversee things in the marksmanship side of the program.
Nice
Makes me love my .270 AB3 Browning even more
The bolt face says it all. And then the fit and finish. Oh well and that is a deep well.
My 700 BDL was mad in the 1960s. Never had any problems. Even though its in 30 06 I use it to shoot groundhogs out to 400 yards with 125 grain hand loads.
I have an older 700 CDL. No diamond polished bolt or anything. Accurate to 300yrds right out of box. Came w optics. Cost under $300 and trigger breaks like glass no creep or take up. It feels like maybe 3lb to break. Only better value in a gun is marlin 60, under $100 and will shoot all day everyday and u can hand it down to ur grandkids.
I actually don’t mind mine. Sure I’m only 18 and have only hunted with it for 5 years. But I’ll tell you it’s a tack driver between 200 and 350 yards.
Sold my newer 7600 for one made back in 1988 and what a difference 20 years made. Didn’t want to pay what I ended up on the gun broker but didn’t want that newer Remington anymore
I grabbed one of these a number of years ago. Used the heck out of it. Hunted for years with it. No…it’s not a floating barrel. Yes….it’s a budget rifle! Yeah….it’s heavy. No…it’s not pretty, but I guess I just got lucky and got one of the accidentally good ones.
Either way, I’ve found no reason beyond personal preference to stop hunting with it. Just me.
Thank the Ambulance Chasers for that heavy trigger pull!
Yup
I believe most Remingtons come with Tunney triggers now, so it should be adjustable down to about 3rds or less.
The barrel is intentionally not free floated on this model. I shot one of these recently, and the trigger actually felt pretty good, with no creep or post-fire travel. Certainly a big step up from the budget class guns
Bergara is the Remington that Remington dreamed of becoming… but fell short.
I just got the 700 sps in 30-06 with a vortex crossfire 2, so far compared to the savage axis I had it’s much better feeling. I haven’t shot it yet but I’m excited to see how it is 😊
I just saw where Remington is making a New 700 with 5R Rifleing on the Barrels and that the Rifles come with a Timney Trigger now .
Do you have a link
