First I don't even currently own any Remington's. I've had Tikkas more recently than my last Remington.
Once again, who cares about the xmark. Anybody who uses their shot replaces it right off the break with a old style Remington or a aftermarket trigger anyway. Yes you will find more negative reviews but there's many times more Remington's on the street than Tikkas. That has a large part to do with it. It doesn't mean they put out any higher or lower percent of duds than tikka.
