I'm impressed for the money and recommend if you don't mind a savage instead of a remington.
I would just like to note that there are 0 parts available for this gun - it must be sent to a certified Remington Armorer in order to replace/repair anything. I should know - I have one in 30-06, and a portion of my bolt assembly broke. I could easily fix this if I could get my hands on the part (requires no gunsmithing). I called up remington, they said I have to send it out, I asked them how much it would cost, and they said they would send me a quote once I had shipped it out. So instead of being able to buy a part for an easy fix, I get to ship out at my expense and get quoted a mystery price, which If I don't like I have to pay out to ship it back to me as well. Not too happy.
Not that I'm looking at them, but if I was, that would totally turn me off.I would just like to note that there are 0 parts available for this gun - it must be sent to a certified Remington Armorer in order to replace/repair anything.

This can be fixed. But seriously, For the price, just drop another 100 and get a 700Don't expect a quick 2nd shot, the bolt binds on the way back in...it sucks. but accurate? oh man for the price it's worth it
+1 you can get a 700 pretty reasonably if you look aroundThis can be fixed. But seriously, For the price, just drop another 100 and get a 700
