There is nothing wrong with Remington. I have used them all of my life without one problem. I used one in the Military, an M-24 A1 & A2. In fact, it was the primary sniper platform for years. the 700 is considered to be the safest and most dependable locking lug system on the market. It is also used exclusively at Match tournaments because of it's amazing accuracy.

There will always be stupid people and shooters, who do stupid things, like overload hand loads, use the wrong kind of powder, mistake bullet size, try to clear plugged barrels by shooting them, keep trying to reload worn out brass, etc,,,. And when an injury occurs, they claim they did nothing wrong and blame the manufacturer.

The large number of Remington's involved is also due to their overwhelming market popularity. There is simply many more of them than there are of others in America.

Remingtons are safe, and of course, they will fail if they are handled with neglect or used improperly.

(I have had far more problems even with correct use, from Ruger, Mossberg or Smith & Wesson.)
