Update: Crappy C.S from Remington

paknheat · February 25th, 2006, 02:02 PM

My Friend finnally got a response from the Remington folks who were supposed to fix his .280 Rifle. They told him that they were going to put a after market trigger on it and adjust the pul lweight to 6lbs. After he explained to the rep , again ,that he had already done this ,and a pull weight of 6lbs was unacceptable . He then told the rep that he wanted the pull weight adjusted to 2.5-3lbs and test fired. The original problem was that when the trigger pull weight was lowered to the 2.5-3lb. range the rifle would discharge when the bolt was closed on a fresh cartridge.That was the problem he wanted corrected. The rep told him, after a moment of silence, "Maybe you should send it out to gunsmith and have it fixed." I will never purchace a Remington product again.

So Rem' has no one worthy of being titled a gunsmith eh!

Sad!

Mind you - I do think some rep's actually promote bad rep' for a company - and probably no one ''up top'' is even aware, tho they should be.

Agreed, Chris .. If the brass knew of his response, he'd be in hot water. I'd hate to think that just this one "representative" of the company actually mirrored company policy

Well, that sucks.

When my friend first sent the rifle back to Remington last month he also sent a letter of complaint to Remington's C.E.O. He still has not had a response.

That is one pathetic story. Remington is one of the biggest of the gun giants. You should have seen their booth at SHOT. Crazy.
And then they pull this.
Field and Stream had a big survey about guns. Remington was the top choice by large margins... and they pull this. Disgusting.

No factory shop will set you up with a 2.5-3 lb trigger.
