model 700

Admiral, i've mentioned this to u before. Will u please do some more research and quit disparageing 700's about there safety. There are two kinda of safeties, 2 stage and 3 stage. Winchester has a 3 stage, rem.,browning, ruger and others have 2 stage. With a 3 stage u can unload with still on safe, with a 2 stage it is ready to fire. There are advantages and dis for both, BUT 700'S ARE NOT DEFECTIVE, and if u want it changed rem. will change it free. thanks

think

uuhhh huntr not sure bout them all, but i have a browning and i don't like the fact that you have to take it off of safety to be able to remove the round from the chamber, i had a remington model 700adl that you could cycle the bolt on safety to be able to remove all ammo from chamber and magazine, i don't know if what you are speaking of is a recent change


ps it never miss fired or accidently discharged

safeties

Tuff, i think the new rems have 3 stage and the factory had a recall to fix the old ones for free. I have both kinds, likes and dislikes on both sides.

safety

I too have a browning a bolt and I do not like that you have to put the gun on fire to unload the chamber. I love my Browning A BOLT but that design to me is unsafe.

'Dividends of Corporate America '

...I remember all the fanfare a couple of years ago on the 700 even on national news but the answers were always on a backburner or played down...but it seems their 'Warning' or 'Options' came only 'After' the point of sale...even some well connected retailers played dumb about the problem and still pushed sales volume...it makes you lose respect for Remington's protocol and dealer relations...I never had a practical use for the 700 but always admired the Marlin and Winchester 30-30 levers...we do have Remington's 12/16/20 and .410 shotguns which were the best mass production shotguns ever made in this country....cheers

gotcha

yeah huntr that will definitely be something i pay attention to when buying my next deer rifle, atleast on my browning it is only the round in the chamber that i have to worry about, after that i can atleast unload the rest from the bottom drop clip(feature my remington didn't have)

2 cents

My dad and grandfather both at one point owned 700's. On one the safety broke, and the other had accidental firing issues. The only other 2 people I hunt with that use the 700 had accuracy issues... just my observation. I'm sure there are similar stories about all guns, but an 0/4 recommendation will keep me away from the 700's.

700

I will comment one more time. I own and have hunted with a 700 in a 270 and have no problems with it, i liked it but the browning is a much better gun even though i do not like the safety where you have to put it in fire to eject the ammo. to me the browning is a much better shooting gun. only my opinion.

700

Browning rifles are like beagles just because they look good and have papers on them don't mean they can run a rabbit. I will never shoot ANYTHING but THE MODEL 700 in a deer rifle which are still used by the military today because of there exceptional accuracy.As far as the tv documentaries I haven't had an issue with mine.

remington

unless talking about a pump shotgun, i will take mostly every other brand over a remington. But this is a ford vs. chevy type arguement.
