Thread: New (RemArms) Remington Rifles...

The Mannlicher-Schoenauer M1903 is of the standard that all rifles should be at now imo. Barrels have got better but action design, finish and function are lagging. I dont expect this Rem to be any better finished

Rifle actions are, from a functional standpoint, glorified door latches.

So long as you can feed, fire and extract a case reliably, that is all you need. Add a good trigger and optics mounting solution (picatinny rail) and you are sorted.
