Re: Remington 700 What do you hate?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Beef</div><div class="ubbcode-body">On the new ones, out of the box, most old ones I have don't have these issues. X-mark triggers, junk stocks on sps models, internal mags don't feed reliably, long throats, chambers on the large side, sloppy firing pin holes, and rough ejector plunger passage. Remington's matte bluing, I imagine their actual parkerizing is as good as most, is a bad idea poorly executed, bluing offers little corrosion resistence and putting it on a sand blasted surface creates a multitude of places for moisture, salts, and other corrosives to take root, but it holds paint well and gives a nice texture to coatings. Bolt release, handle, safety, exposed screw are all fine by me, though I wouldn't mind a better attachment method for the bolt handle, and threads so the knob could easily be changed. Barrel nuts are highly functional and convenient if you're into changing barrels, but hideous, I don't want one. </div></div>
Would like to see a barrel nut, not just for easy barrel changes, its a lot easier to headspace, also adds ridgidity to the barrel action joint, they can be made smaller and blended in, for better eye appeal.
