Old stuff. Move on. mtmuley
I woud hardly call going from the model 721/722 to newer 700's and the model 7 "Old Stuff" but we are all allowed to create our own time line.
When the FN plant in Belgium, the producers of Bronwing Safari grade rifles, made the mistake of using "salt cured" walnut for thier stocks, it turned into a corrosion nightmere.
FN/Browning, even though this was not a "safety issue" almost went belly up,,,,,"making it right". They paid the freight, they gave gun owners a new stock, refinished any corrosion, returned the rifles, and issed a statment from the company that all was make right.
That was an example of intergrity under fire. Again they almost went broke doing that.
To the contrary, Remington, as best described by 60 minutes, spent decades denying a problem, settled caes out of court and only relatively recently said they will repair the problem if the owners pay the shipping.
That is the last I heard. I have not paid much attention to the recent issues exampled by the post above I sent you.
For me,,,when I go afield with a firearm the integrity of the manufactuer counts big,,,as does safety,,,also along with things like having triggers be cheap cast metal with a hard plating on them that soon wears out.
To each their own,,,intergrity counts. Browning firearams seem to be doing well,,,,,and how is Remington doing these days.???
