    Re: Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt I just spoke with Remington, they are going to mail me a check for a refund. Woohoo, it will soon be over! Hopefully it will cover the return shipping I had to pay as well.

    Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt

    Re: Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt Well I called Remington today so I could get the repair # so that I would have all info possible before I tried to reach a "higher up". They said they have the rifle on the bench now. Not sure what happened to the 6-8 week wait I was...

    Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt

    Re: Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt I just do not understand the logic that a massive amount of money must be spent to recieve an "as advertised" product. Does this only apply to guns? If you were to trade for a brand new vehicle and it blows the engine a few miles from the...

    Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt

    Re: Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt I just called Remington and the rifle has been logged into their system. I was informed it would be 6-8 weeks before they can get it on the bench to see what is wrong with it. I then asked for a refund and was told it will be the same...

    Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt

    Re: Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt The gun finally settled in to dime sized groups at 100 yards. But in a hunting situation there was no way to work the bolt in a reasonbly stealthy manner. It required alot of leverage. I understand that the more of something a company...

    Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt

    Re: Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt I fired about 30 rounds through the gun. I could have lived with a slightly tight headspace. But this thing was "machining" .005" from the rim of the brass. A follow up shot would be impossible with the way I had to pry on the bolt to get...

    Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt

    Re: Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt I took the extractor completely out and it still shaved brass. As I said before and as I explained to them, it is the bulge next to the ejector that rubs the casing. It is as if the chamber is not centered with the bolts axis of rotation...

    Not a good 1st post...but I need to vent. Remingt

    I bought a Remington VTR .22-250 on 8-23-11. My 1st trip to the range indicated a problem I have never encountered before. The bolt was hard to close and open on fired and unfired brass. My initial ammo was a box of remington core lokt. Trying to convince myself it was the cheap ammo I continued...
