Nice rifle. Hope the new owners continue to innovate.

Whatever

X2

Looks good.

I know its no Tikka but you know its American Made

not bad. the new bolt handle is ugly.

Don't you drive a Japanese truck?

So is ruger. Can you name their SNAFUs? Even one?

Edit: yes I know the P series pistol and older 77s were not known for accuracy.

Folks are so use to bashing Remington it will take some time for change.

I don’t see anything special there.

There are not any new owners. They just renamed the investment group The Remington Group. It was the Freedom Group, and originally Cerberus.

ouch!! lol

Hasn’t that Gen 2 5R been around for a while? I bought one several months ago and had been eyeing them for a year or so.

It says Remington on it. Pass

A nice rig Buzzsaw. I still like a Remington 700. It is easy to do lots of good stuff with one. If Rem only made the 5r milspec in left hand I would already own one in 300Win mag.

OOHH touché

But I tell you , its a hell of a truck. I REALLY love it. Especially when I take it OFF-ROAD





The Garage

As opposed to the alternative Mexican made trucks, I think he made the right choice!

YEAH !!!!!

Thanks Spacemonkey !!!

You missed the point.

I love finland, I have a Sako or 2

Ruger M77 lines are a total piles of sizz, always has been and will be.... Ruger makes a great revolvers and pretty much all their .22 thats it..... The RPR is serviceable if I was forced to use one.....

That bolt handle on the Remington has got to go..... looks like the Mohawk and 700 bolts had sex and that was it ugly baby....

Only real issue I've seem with a Ruger 77 is a terrible trigger. That can be corrected, and when it is, they often shoot well.

optic mounting system and rings are a deal killer and were terrible idea to begin with....... the controlled round feed is good... I guess

I forgot about control feed, I am not a fan, and do not own any control round feed actions.

Remington finally gets one right!

My love of and use of Remington and Marlin firearms far predates anyone ever hearing the names Freedom Group or Cerberus. I suspect it will continue long after those names in regards to their current dumb [censored] entities - are long gone. I hope they emerge from bankruptcy like many companies have before them and under proper leadership are the great companies they were before! I will never turn my back on a properly managed US firearms company - ever.

very well said thank you.

I don't understand how built in ring mounts to the receiver are a terrible idea. You are the first I've heard complain about the mounting system.

Dilly-Dilly!

I'm good with the scope base integrated in the receiver. Fewer screws to worry about is a good thing. I also like the Mauser style controlled round feed. Makes for a smooth and reliable big bore dangerous game rifle. It's the angled front action screw that I dislike. What a pain in the keester to bed...the trigger also has to go.
