@MrGta12367 ...i prefer brownings...they are better in construction and are as accurate...i used the remington 40xb as a varminter (single shot) and the .22-250 was ok but the 6mm wasn't as good and it's extractor was faulty...i think the 700 uses the same bolt design

@jethro035181 trust me remingtons are really good that one was just somthing wrong with it get a remington 700 or somtihng they are great

[jethro035181]

i owned a couple of remington 40xbs....one of them broke the extractor ...this is the only firearm i've ever owned that broke an extractor ..poor design

@Ljungman42 a wonderfuly valid question.

[Hincesti07]

I'm not sure what happened to the quality of the Remington 700, the last 3 I bought the quality serious suffered and the accuracy was awful, I sold all 3 of them then bought a CZ 550.

We have 35 Remington 700s in our family so we are a Remington using family and I still have 4 Remington custom built 700's, but I am done spending $600 to 700 for a Remington 700's that does not shoot well like thy used too .

I'm guessing it is now all Illegal Mexican labor at Remington why quality has fallen off.

@Ljungman42 Personally, I go with "Karbean" as it mates with "Karabiner" (German word, same meaning). I think that's the closest language to English there is.

[spraynpray]

@Ljungman42 Well, it derives from a French word where the ending is silent. So professor, you tell us how to correctly pronounce an originally silent French syllable in correct 2011 English. Trick question, it's a live language.

During the intro to this video where they are talking about the accomplishments of Remington, all I could think about was the unreliable, rust-prone POS I paid $700 for called a "Remington 870". If private sales were possible in California, that POS would be sold for a loss ASAP. Total junk.

[Ljungman42]

Why, in every show, do they say "Karbean"? Who talks like that? How they looked at the word Carbine and pronounced it like that I'll never know.

@EmeraldTriangle80 they're tough. i used to work at an explosive deslag company and they used those for blasting off small pieces rather than using a charge. it was nothing out of the norm to run 1-2+ cases (not boxes and often more) through them at a time. they were beat, dropped, neglected and used in extremely dirt environments. the worst thing would happen is a warped barrel. sometimes they wouldn't eject but that was after they got good and hot. you have a truly great shotgun buddy.
