I purchased a Remington Model 700 Mountain Rifle a couple months ago. Previously I had purchased Winchester, Thompson Center, Kimber, Ruger, and Browning guns. I wish I had stayed with one of those brands. I had to send the gun back due to two major manufacturing defects. They changed out the stock and sent the rifle back with one that was totally unacceptable. So I will have to send it back again.
I have spoke to several friends and gun shop owners that tell me that Remington's service is now poor. My experience with other manufacturers puts Remington at the bottom of the list by comparison.
