I assume he's referring to the Remingtons. I've also had my share of Remingtons ... prolly 5-6 rifles and of course my old workhorse, my 870 Deerslayer. Zero, zip, nada ... NO complaints on the Rems other than a 700 I sent to Big Sky that arrived with a rusted trigger. It was brand new out of the box, had never been fired and was always kept in my gun safe with dehumidifier. I have absolutely no clue where the rust came from and was totally unaware it existed. It's still a mystery to me. I did have an old 760 and always had to carry it by the slide as it rattled when I walked. I actually had two of them and they both did that, so I suppose that's a negative that has nothing to do with this thread really. I killed prolly a dozen black bears with that old 760 and loved it.
