I put my hands on a Remington 105 CTi for the first time today. It is owned by a friend at the club who brought it out today to give it a test run.
This gun should never have left the factory. The most noticeable flaw was the rib. It was higher on the left side than the right and not centered on top of the barrel. The rib defect made the barrel look like it was twisted when the gun was shouldered.
The gun repeatedly malfunctioned with Winchester Super Target promo loads although did work with other ammo. Frustrated my friend went back to his truck and retrieved his tried and true Beretta Teknys to finish the round.
The CTi was supposed to be Remington's answer to the Beretta 391 and Browning Gold and is priced accordingly. If what I saw today is reflective of the entire line then Remington has seriously missed the boat again.
