You cannot expect to get top notch service on a mass produced inexpensive product. No need to create threads, cry or complain. Shoot and enjoy it or sell it and move on to a higher quality product if you want service. You are wasting time and bandwidth.
My 2019 APO 700 is serialized like all the other REM bolt guns I have from various years up to that point.
I’m sure the bolt is serialized and OP should get it back but I wouldn’t count on it being fast.
I put in a word with the RemArms customer service, and they had someone from management research this issue and call me back. I calmly stated my concern and he apologized. Said the rifle was not authorized to be returned to me in it's current condition. He doesn't know how that happened.
What will happen is that I'm getting a call tag and the entire rifle will be sent back to RemArms for a replacement.
It make take a few weeks for an order to me inserted in the manufacturing queue, but he promises either that will happen, or if a RemArms 700 Police LTR is not in the manufacturing cycle, he will propose an upgrade.
I want to again thank carbonbased for the his understanding and advice. I will keep the community apprised, but remember it could be
a month or two and then some.

I bought a $1700 dollar scope (used) and got it from the seller like this (this is the torx that needs to be removed to reset the windage). Looks to me like someone didnt have the right size Torx so used the next size up and banged it in, or used an SAE 'almost the right size' and fucked up the gear itself. Then, with it well stuck, broke it off (in the scope and now in me). When I complained, the seller accused me of doing it. Dealing with that now.
Understandable but thats not his job. If he did it and fucked it up then Rem says "You fucked it up, we aint fixing it."
There’s no SAE for torx but yeah, someone over tightened that. Probably used a torx from Temu.
This is why I don’t buy used optics. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, but because people are crooked, shady, cheap, ham-fisted, and retarded. And 9/10 if something is broke, the seller goes ghost, and it’s on your dime.
Torx bits get way over used, and it's fine till they snap. I bet it's not crazy tight, just crappy, overused torx bit/key. It's torx bit flutes are probably spiraled and that's what's holding it in. Ive used a dental/oring pick to get stuff like that out, but it was on more robust machinery. An optic isn't gonna take to kind to pecking and prying.
Tried that, and very gently a small pick, its wedged tight. Waiting to get it back for a trip to Zeiss to be repaired properly. Why people send stuff out when all it would take is to have it warrantied.
If you’re careful, you can get a spare piece of small scrap metal (1/8” dowel rod or something similar). Get some 2 ton epoxy. Mix a tiny amount, put some on the head of the screw, and stick the scrap of metal in it. Clean any excess, so as not to get any in or on the turret itself, just on the screw head. Let it sit 24 hours. Unscrew the screw using the piece of metal you attached to the screw. Call Zeiss, give them the scope model, tell themthem what happened, and that you need that 1 screw. Chances are, they might just send you a free one.
No waiting, no warranty, and you can use it in the meantime while waiting on the new screw. And u can break the epoxy or cut the screw off the very end of the dowel, and you still have a perfectly good piece of dowel.Similar threads
