Their customer service sucks.
Stick with CZ, sako, tikka,annie.
Well even though I've had problems with Rem products and was less than happy with their reply's to 7 1/2 primers without anvils, I do have a good report for them. Just one!!
An R25 in 243 I recently had the enjoyment of firing, had a less than acceptable charging issue. It litterly took two hands to pull back the charging handle. After sighting it in, cleaning and lubing the snot out of the BCG, shooting reloads under 3/4", the owner called Rem Cus Service. The man on the line immediatly said no way, send it back. Shipping box and label were received a couple days later and off it's gone. Now the story isn't complete since it hasn't returned or been replaced, but at least they responded as one would expect to an issue from a paying customer.
In reading about the 17hmr problems, I think I'd have to side with Rem on this as an ammo issue and not a firearm issue.
Just my .03 cents worth..
