I CAN NOT BELEIVE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED AND SHUT DOWN OR FINED BY OUR GOVERNMENT. REMINGTON KNOWS AND HAS KNOWN FOR A VERY VERY VERY LONG TIME ABOUT THE 700 RIFLES MISFIRING PROBLEMS WHERE THE MODEL 700 RIFLE FIRES JUST BY YOU PUSHING THE SAFETY TO OFF WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING THE TRIGGER. I HAVE KNOW IDEA HOW THE CEO OF REMINGTON SLEEPS AT NIGHT. I AM A BIG BELEIVER IN KARMA SO REMINGTON I THINK AND TRULEY BELEIVE HAS THERE DAY COMING I HOPE AND PRAY. WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS TRULEY EVIL AND UNJUST. MONEY HAS CLOUDED THEIR JUDGEMENT. I THINK ALL RIFLE CONSUMERS SHOULD BOYCOTT REMINGTION UNTIL REMINGTON FIXES THE MODEL 700 RIFLE MISFIRING PROBLEMS REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH MONEY IT COST THEM. THEY NEED TO GET THIS BIG DANGEROUS SCARY PROBLEM FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL.

I think a too-long scope mount screw is interfering with the bolt's operation.

I have a Remington...Paul Martin<br />Renmark <br />Australia<br /><br />I have a Remington 700LH in varminter format. I started sighting it in previously but fitted a different scope and tried again on the week end. However the bolt would not close fully. I took it back to the retailer. he removed the pin assembly and still the bolt would not close fully. So it cannot be the bolt lock as that came off with the pin. We cannot see any obsticles in the chamber. The gun is about three years old and has fired less than 25 rounds.<br /><br />Any suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448968088608887874.post-20339536571694062162011-12-01T21:30:40.043-05:002011-12-01T21:30:40.043-05:00I've had some 12 remington center fire rifles;...I've had some 12 remington center fire rifles; 7- 700's,4- 788's. 2 of the 700's could be described as reliablely accurate; 3 of the 788's were one hole shooters. Of the poor and undesirable ones even though respectably "pretty", they were miserable examples of quality control. 4 with visible defects inside the bbls, one on the bolt face. No need to set cartridge lenth to fit the chamber because no bullet has ever been made long enough. Only one bolt lug makes contect with receiver races.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448968088608887874.post-61446771638151977072011-08-12T18:30:18.550-04:002011-08-12T18:30:18.550-04:00I will never purchase a Remington weapon again. F...I will never purchase a Remington weapon again. For generations, Remington was the weapon of choice for my family.<br />I purchased a used Remington 700 rifle and was told by another person that it had a problem with the trigger and safety. It was true, if your finger was on the trigger, without any pressure, it would fire when the safety was pushed forward. I was told Remington knew about this problem.<br />I contacted Remington and they offered to look at the problem. I said I have been out of work for 2 years and could not afford to pay anything. They picked up the tab for to/from shipping and said they would look at it. I got a letter saying that I needed a new bolt, trigger assembly, etc. I told them that I had already said I could not afford to pay for repairs. They sent the rifle back labeled dangerous w/o repairing it.<br />I was told by several people that Remington only wanted to cover their ass. <br />I also own a Glock 40 cal S&W piston. I called Glock and told them I had a safety issue if the pistol was dropped. I sent in the pistol, and they replaced every single part, with the exception of the receiver housing, barrel and slide. Even new front and rear sights for the slide. A whole page of parts w/o any charge. Not only that, they sent me the gun back in a new heavy plastic gun case. Just like the ones they come in when new.<br />My point is, Remington has a problem with their triggers, and does not want to pay for it. Glock wants their weapons working perfectly no matter what. They ask no questions of me, they just fixed it for free and then paid to ship it back to me,<br />REMINGTON sucks. None of my family will ever purchase their crap again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
