I purchased a 700 CDL a couple years ago. i had asked to drop the hammer on the rifle i was looking at but Gander Mountain refused to let me. So i bought it anyway. The trigger broke at a Michael Jackson creepy 9.28 #'s. i called Remmy and way told this was well within spec. So i spend another $275 on a jewel trigger. Since this lawyer proof POS can't be adjusted. Gun has a nice trigger but even with hand loads will not shoot under a 3.5 MOA group. So I send the gun off to be bedded, and the chamber reamed, bolt face lapped, yada yda. Now i have more money wrapped up in this crap gun. Than i would a brand spankin new Cooper. After $1850 it will shoot a 1 3/4" group with handloads.
I got pissed off and sold the gun for $1,000 just to keep it from stinking up my gun safe.
I have a few 700 bdl rifles from the late 1950's to mid 1960's. All are works of art and shoot like dreams.
all of my 870 wingmaster shotguns and my 1100 are from the 50's-70's and all are great guns. Like the pre-64 Winchesters Pre 1990 Remingtons will become more and more soughtafter.
I would not trade a bottle of warm deer pee for a new remington anything. or a new Marlin now that remington is screwing them up. At least the deer pee might prove usefull during deer season.
Savage, T/C, Cooper, Tika, Browning, are all still pretty darn good guns and will continue to earn my $$
