A customer brought this one in for a muzzle brake. Remington sent it directly to him (UPS) as a replacement for the M710 that that had a SERIOUS headspace problem. There is a aluminum core ( for lack of a better term ) that is slid into the receiver tube from the rear end. The part that extends from the rear of the action is part of this core & the trigger fits in it. The lug is in the stock (RED). There is a mating recess in the barrel that it fits into. This the replacement for the 710. What do you think?

It's a piece er, pile uh, tub eh, load of shit! It's made for folks who are on very limited budgets. Remingtons reputation is slip slidding away! Pretty pathetic... Where are the stockholders???

Wow what a piece of junk.

That thing is the sux.

Too bad for those who find one of these in their hands.

I went to remington's site, and these are MSRP'd at over 400 dollars- so figure half that, and you can still get a stevens or that new marlin.

if you want a lo-bucker*, this thing isn't even in the running.

*ain't nothin' wrong with that- my father-in-law the surgeon just bought a marlin in .270.

Piece of shit.

Same thing Savage did in my opinion with one of their new models with the barrel pinned with two pins like a damn rimfire. Just more pieces of shit from the gun makers to cut corners and increase profit.

Why anyone would buy one amazes me. The last 700 I bought (4 months ago) was a new ADL in 7mmRM for $289.99. It is a much better rifle and I can rebarrel it too.

As W.C. would say, "Godfrey Daniel !!!"

That is hideous. Remington should be
ashamed to even have built something
like this.

That bolt handle looks scary

Yikes!

I have a whole new appreciation for my Howaby Vanguard.

Wow! Everything about that rifle just screams cheap. All the surfaces look round because there are no corners left to cut.

The quality goes in before the name goes on.

I bet I could kill a deer with it but I would need a stiff drink afterwards.

I think they found the right guy for the job.

Very crude, at best.

VERY NICE boat anchor

Well, looks like they came up with a "product" that makes a Carcano look great.

I agree that is one fugly piece of work. As mentioned, even at this low price point there are some decent rifles to be had. This isn't one of them

It is a brutally cheap piece of crap. My nephew bought one of the 710's a few years ago and now wants to get rid of it and he cannot sell it.

Remington should re-think what the hell they are doing.

On the other hand, they got something right by re-introducing the Sendero.

& the muzzle brake that I make will be the best looking part of the entire rifle!

Evidently Remington needed more parts to keep track of. More assembly to do. More bore tolerances to hold. HEH! nice try. Seems like an expensive way to make an inexpensive receiver.

Not a very nice piece of hardware.

I guess the second set of serial numbers is there just incase you missed the first.



Sweet!

The replaceable bolt head is a decent touch at best. The rest of the rifle SUCKS! The recoil shoulder won't do enough in my opinion.

Is this Remington made in the USA or is this an import from one of their Euro partners?

Chust luffley, Hans......

Let's see, how I should put it, uumm, I'm sure it is perfectly adequate for it's intended purpose but it's an ugly piece of S*#T!!

Steve E........

It absolutely amazes me that a company would spend the R & D dollars to build a piece of shit when they have existing, decent products. Plastic this and plastic that. BUilding to capture a market whose very existence befuddles me. this shit of pre-assembled 'ready to go', 'takes the guess work out of', 'simplifies' is ridiculous.

Another piece of junk that is obsolete before it's built, and only serves to lower the reputation of an already struggling company.

A bubba'ed mauser looks a hell a lot better than that!

I see all the arms company going this direction,and i also see them going away just as Winchester has. Wont be long and the riflesmiths will rule the world>>>

To call it hideous would be flattery.

They're just looking out for us little guy's.

I wonder if their custom shop offers that model with a Shaw barrel. Where would you put a second lug? Apparantly the bore won't be the only thing that will suffer if the gun gets too hot.

That trigger guard is "special".

i heard that they where cheapies but thats not just cheap its a cheap P.O.S he would have been better off with a stevens or a mossberg atr theres a difference between no frills economical and P.O.S. !!! i am not sure what surprises me more the fact that remington would produce something like that or the fact that some one would buy it and then spend money on it

But you know, the funny part is, it will sell like tanning oil on the beach!

Now, gentlemen. Let us not urinate into Big Green's cornflakes before we learn how well it will group. It may shoot pretty well for a hunting rifle. How does it feel, Doug? Does the action have a satisfying "heft" to it?

After looking at these pictures of the Remington 770 I about through up. And to think the CEO of Remington just won the Ernest and Young Executive of the year. Just shows they don't know crap about guns manufacturing.

They have run the 1100, 870, 700 in the crapper making it cheaper. The police and military better watch out they are now making ARs.

My prediction Remington will get out of the civilian gun market, either intentional or unintentionally. Their patents are expiring and the clone makers are replacing them in the market place.

If someone wants a cheap Remington the can buy a clone made in Brazil or China. If they want a quality Remington clone they can buy a Stiller, Pierce, Borden, and the list goes on.

yep it is heavier than a 700 action. Cheaper steel so it has to be?

Wow!! What an awesome piece of shit!! Send it to me, as I think I can use it as a door stop on my tool shed, the tang should stick in the dirt nicely..........What a joke

Dear Mr. Humbarger:

Pretty awful rifle!

Reminds me of the 1974 Chevrolet Vega, my mom bought new after the oil embargo in 1973. Same idea, cheap and silly. At 40,000 miles, the chrome lining in the cylinders in the aluminum block engine started to wear off, and it burned oil at a rate of one quart a week.

You had to love the two barrel carburetor that always shook loose, too.

God, that is one ugly rifle, and I love Glocks!

Sincerely,

Chris Bemis
