    Second that. A factory Remington is a big gamble.

    The fate of the Remington 700 in 2017

    My bad as Remington really didn't blame Trump, but the credit analysts at Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings stated "This sudden drop in demand after President Trump's election has meant Remington Outdoor, the second-largest U.S. gunmaker, has suffered a “rapid” and “sharp” deterioration in sales...

    The fate of the Remington 700 in 2017

    Another way to say it could be "Obama kept their shitty company in business and now they have to deal with a realistic market." Remington blaming Trump reminds me of the old saying, "if you're looking for an excuse, anyone will do."

    Yes, and with this news there in no debating that it is a F'ed up company.

    AXMC 6.5saum questions

    My 6.5 RSAUM is in an A5 with Badger metal and both the 3 and 7 round Accurate Mags works well. If the 3 rounder will not work in an AX, its doubtful the 7 rounder will either since the only difference I can see is the length.

    Remington, 2nd Largest Gunmaker Nears Default

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-1...rms-post-obama Excerpt: As Philly.com's Joseph DiStefano reports, S&P cut the company’s corporate credit rating - already at a junk-bond-level CCC+ - two full notches, to CCC- as: ...a backlog of unsold, unwanted firearms will force Remington to operate...

    AXMC 6.5saum questions

    Factory Hornady brass works well with the Turn Neck .2962 reamer in my 6.5 RSAUM, and without having to turn the necks. Norma brass with turned necks has produced better SD's though. http://shop.otmtactical.com/65-Gap-4...-ct_p_467.html https://www.bullets.com/products/6-5...ck-2962/T26771

    Remington Sendero 7 Mag - LEMON!!!!

    No need to edit. Remington never should have shipped the junk gun in the first place and trust me, your and my stories are not the only ones. 10 years ago I bought a 270WSM CDL SF and had to ship it back due to extractor problems. I bought a Remington Seven for my daughter and the screw holes...

    Remington Sendero 7 Mag - LEMON!!!!

    I had a similar experience. In March of 2014 I bought the same Remington 700 Sendero SF II in 7 Mag expecting to “be stunned by the degree of precision,” as their ad states, but my old Hawkins muzzleloader would shoot a better group. Changing from Nosler Accubonds to Berger VLDs created a 25”...

    Tuned saum mags

    I've got a barrel ordered to chamber in 6.5 SAUM to go on one of my Defiance Deviant short actions and was given this link http://accurate-mag.com/magazines/ (see 6th magazine down) as the answer. I have some 308 Accurate mags and wondered if they could be modified to work.

    6.5x47L vs 6.5cm question

    I asked this same question a little less than two years ago and went with the 47L. Now I have two 47Ls; both with Bartlein Heavy Palma barrels and a spare barrel for one of the guns. All 3 barrels shoot 140 Hybrids in the 2770's. All 3 barrels will shoot either 4350 or Varget, and all shoot in...

    Trued R700 action VS. custom action?

    Not sure but this has been my experience with two separate gun builders. Three of us had 7mm Rem Mags built with 26” Krieger Rem Varmints by the same Builder (A). Two of us had him true our existing 700’s and the other bought a Stiller. All 3 guns bug hole but the Stiller runs 100 + fps more...

    Trued R700 action VS. custom action?

    With two trued 700's and two Deviants the main custom action advantages for me are 1. pressure and velocity. The custom actions allow for higher velocities. 2. being able to easily swap barrels as the custom actions have an integrated recoil lug and with a barrel vice it's as easy and screwing...

    Defiance Action Lube

    I asked the same question a few months back and got some nice replies. Ended up buying Mil-Comm TW25B and giving it a try. Probably the best lubricant I've ever owned. Only problem is the lube is so good is creates a synthetic film that takes up too much space in my tight tolerance Defiance...

    Barrel Bedding: Yes or No (troubleshooting hot barrel vertical stringing)

    Makes sense, thanks! Would I be correct in assuming that having glass bedding under the barrel in front of the recoil lug is more necessary on guns with stocks that do not had an aluminum bedding block than those that do?

    Barrel Bedding: Yes or No (troubleshooting hot barrel vertical stringing)

    Glad to see this thread as I was planing to inquire about this as well. I bought a used 270 Sendero and has it glass bedded, the action trued and a Shilen 260 barrel installed by a gunsmith in April. About the same time I bought a new Remington Sendero 7 mm Rem Mag and had it bedded by the...
