Wife's 300BLK is under the recall. Couldn't find enough factory soldiers to sight it in, so it's no big loss, just gotta strip the scope and base off before I send it to the mothership.
The 40% off code saved me an assload on the barrel for my "You paid WHAT?" Remmy 1100 project, so I won't complain. (it also didn't appear to be unique so Rock on, Remington Svc Center, thanks for the 40% off!)

My rifle is effected. I still have the factory stock with a harris bi pod & scope so I think I'll send it back & see what happens. I don't want to re zero my rifle again, .308 is expensive.

Are the ADs only when a round is chambered and you move the safety from Safe to Fire, or does it AD under other conditions?

My 700 .308 Varmint is on the recall list. Shit.
Oh, joy, they're giving me a 40% discount on their overpriced accessories catalogues? WTF.$19.95 for a plastic water bottle with a Remington logo?  . And $395 for a fucking field jacket? A Filson doesn't cost that much. Fuck you very much, Remington. Now I have to yank my scope, bipod etc off my rifle before sending it back. Hopefully it'll get lost and I'll file an insurance claim. Fuck fuck fuck. Should've built an E.R. Shaw instead.

Simmer down and just get yourself Timney or Jewell trigger and install it. A lot of us are looking at this as an excuse and a golden opportunity to retrigger our rifles which is actually what a lot of us should have done the day we bought our rifles. |

Haven't been able to check my S/N yet, but I bought a 308 SPS in 2009, so I'm sure it's in that range.
How difficult is it to replace the trigger if you've never messed with one before? |

Recall. Recall= free repairs. What does the word 'FREE' tell you? FSA mentality? 2. Basically a Fudd gun. Yeah, WE'RE shooters and modify them etc but GENERALLY the guy that buys one of these is a Fudd. Fudds are easily scared and dangerous triggers that go off for no reason at all. Think Boogey man. 3. Recall generally means freebies given out to placate the masses. 4. VERY popular rifle. 1+2+3+4= a metric SHITLOAD of people sending them in to be fixed. A shitload of repairs at the factory= a shitload of time. While the repair itself may take 15 minutes you gotta add everything else into the equation. SHipping time both ways, unloading trucks, factory priorities, etc. On top of this, there is one other factor. When the rifle arrives it is going to go into a storage unit of some sort. How long will it be until someone actually gets to it to fix it? This could mean anywhere between a week (if that happen buy lottery tickets) to several months. Look at it this way. at 15 minutes per repair and 100,000 rifles that's 25,000 man-hours for just the repair itself. They you gotta have someone opening the boxes when they arrive and repackage them to return them. 25,000 man hours= 625 forty hour weeks for one guy, 62.5 for 10 guys and 6 weeks, 10 hours for 100 guys. My Guess is that your rifle is going to be in the shop for a while. Again, this is only a guess. They may have 1000 gunsmiths standing by for all I know but I sorta doubt it. If I were you? Not enough for a Timney yet? I'd keep it until i could afford one. We're only talking about a faulty safety here. We're trained not to rely on it anyway. Simply obey the safety rules and you should be GTG until you can afford a good trigger. YES, it REALLY IS that simple. |

I sent my barreled action for chro treatment, badger base rings installed and torqued. I cleaned and adjusted the trigger already about 2.5lb did drop safety on/off drop jar test. I really don't think I should send it back in they did give me a 40% off code to bad they don't sell Timney triggers.

Total cost $0.00 it's not so much that we're incapable of removing the excess sealant as it is that why bother trying to fix an inferior product. Even when the XMP trigger is working properly it is crap. Mine wouldn't adjust below 4lbs and the pull weight was inconsistent. Plus if you back the set screw out too far trying to lower the weight it protrudes out the front of the trigger, which can be uncomfortable. If you remove the scope you'll be back to square one for sighting in and that'll cost you a few bucks in ammo, replacing the trigger will probably require only a minor adjustment(if any). I'd rather spend the $115 getting a Timney than have to deal with the hassle of sending the gun back and waiting who knows how long. |

Ready for a CSB, TL/DR?
I won a rifle at a 'Friends of the NRA' dinner/raffle, a little over two years ago. Model 700 SPS Stainless in .243 Win., as yet unfired, NIB. Now, this... I find that it is one of the rifles affected, and I filled out the paperwork to send it back to have it factory repaired. It's still NIB after two years, so why not?! Let's see, when I get it back, how it works, as intended. It's still NIB. Did I mention, it's still NIB? I've yet to have any problem with a Remington rifle, shotgun, or LRP ( Long Range Pistol, XP-100 / .223 Rem. ) that I've owned, so I'm going to go ahead with this procedure and see how Remington does with it. I will TL/DR here: Does anyone here have a complete, consumer product inventory that is 100% perfect? Has any firearm invented NEVER had some kind of 'defect' or 'teething problems' as designed and delivered? I think not. Therefore, I'm willing to ship my NIB Remington rifle back to Remington and see what they do to rectify the possible problem. IF a company were to just lie, deny, or refuse to correct a percieved or possible problem, I might be more wary. I'm glad to see and take advantage of this situation to make things right, even if there isn't a problem with my particular product. I'll report back when all is said and done...including a test-fire session.

Removal of scope. My Rifle in cardboard box. Cardboard box to UPS. Months before return. Remount scope. Rezero- more time and ammo for CCB zero. Not in the least interested in doing anything on that list. |

I installed my Timney trigger yesterday after work. It took less than an hour, that's digging it out of the safe and cleaning up all the tools etc. The only problem was I had to use my dremel and relieve the wood in front of the trigger where the adjustment screw fits as it was maybe 1/8" tight in that area. I adjusted the trigger down to 2 LBS where I like it and added a drop of varnish over the wood to seal it.
I installed the stock, gave it several saftey checks and was good. I shouldered the rifle then dry fired it once more, freaking sweet! Timney makes nice triggers! 
Thanks Remington. Now my rifle is awesome! |
