New Remington 770 (PHOTO HEAVY)!
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? Big Grin

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???

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.

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.

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 thumbdown

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. bewildered

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

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.

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.


Do it right the first time.

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

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.

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

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

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?

Longshot
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?

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
