I have been scared of the 700's ever since, you know, they killed a bunch of people because of a faulty safety. Not only that but the fact it would have cost like $0.03 per gun to fix it and Remington decided not to and then more people died...

1917 EnField 30_06 is my rifle of choice right now. OG goodness and it is an ex WWII sniper rifle.

Whats more fun for taking it to the range and shooting ****? Handguns or rifles? Ive never even shot a gun before, but have always thought about getting one.

I like pistols for fun factor... but I enjoy it all.

Ive been looking around for the last like 20 mins. It seems like the Glock 31 would be a beast, and what seems like a good price too.

Well, it was the older model 700's but ever since that, I just can't bring myself to by a gun from a Company like that.

heres a little info: http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/manufacturing/2010-10-20-remington-700-trigger-cnbc_N.htm

If you get the chance "Remington Under Fire" is a documentary that was done recently which covers it pretty well. Before I seen that show, I was at the gun range and actually heard "Remington Moment" be yelled and then a shot fired. He pulled the trigger and nothing happened, the second he touched the bolt, the gun fired...
