:cry: Recently I started looking for a replacement for my old 1968 Remington 700 ADL in 30-06. I was very interested in the new Rem 700 XCR, but began to have doubts after reading about the new Remingtons and poor quality control.
I went to a local gun shop and compared the Tikka T3 laminate vs Remington XCR. I was shocked! As soon as I pulled the bolt on the Remington I saw a deep gouge/tool mark on the left lug on the bolt!! :x The shop manager was even upset and said it would be shipped back!
After pulling the Tikka's bolt and feeling the smooth action I am almost sold. Any input about these two guns would be appeciated. Has anyone had problems with the laminate stock on Tikka in 30-06. I understand the big boys .300 and .338's have had some stock cracking in this line.
