[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3832315, member: 48072"] Hey boss, do you have any references for your data points in this post? I'm not trying to be the D-bag who is calling you out, but in order to better understand what you're saying I'd like to do some internet searching on my own. My understanding (Google search) is that Vista bought parts of Remington in 2020. I'm totally missing your 1990s' reference to Vista, unless I am a moron (possible) and there is another Vista that was supposed to be doing QC in Ilion NY instead of it just being a parent holding firm. I know DuPont owned them until 1993. My 1991 made 700 BDL has the slickest factory action of any non-custom rifle I've played with over the years. You might get close to it if you slathered a Tikka in baby oil, but more seriously - it is head and shoulders above the other Remingtons I've owned that were made between 2004 and 2016. A Gunbroker check a few minutes ago has new blued carbon steel actions at $530-570, and used adjustable triggers (pre-X-Mark) at $45-75. Anyway, not out here to start an argument. I just noticed several points of yours that I wasn't able to make sense in my head and was wondering if there were a direction you could point me in for your source of info. Have a good one. [/QUOTE]
