  • Remington Customer Service

    Hey souls

    Anyone has any experience with Remington Customer Service?

    Background:
    I have a new Rem 700 that I am trying to install a scope on. Stupid thing has once Receiver screw stuck n so tight that I nearly scratched the receiver trying to take it off. The screw is now stripped and beyond my ability to take off. I have a service ticket open with them. They have UPS pick it up to do an estimate. So far the ticket tracking method I have seen is not impressing me

    Wondering if anyone has first hand experience in this.

      Update: quick turnaround from Remington. They got the gun on Wednesday, fixed it and shipped it. I got it back on Friday, with that blasted screw removed. no cost from my side.

      Great job Remington

      Feedback: their repair tracking system is absolutely ineffective

          The screw head was stripped. The screwdriver bit would not bite. I tried lubrication, heat, using a rubber band under the screw bit, everything I could think of. The last ditch procedure to fix this is to actually drill through the screw head instead of trying to open it up. I think that is what was done.

            Gotta love slotted screws. In a more perfect world more screws would be torx head. Personally I would have gone to the local gunsmith. There would be a cost but could have been a 5 minute job...in and out. Might have been worth it to avoid shipping it and worrying where the hell it is and if the shipping company is taking care of it. What scope do you have for it? Over the last year I have replaced/upgraded by mix of scopes to Leupolds VX3i.
            Removing a single turd from the cesspool doesn't make any difference.

              To their credit, they handled it quite well, and no cost on my side. UPS guy picked up on Monday, I was out for the week cam back on Thursday night. The piece arrived on Friday midday. By Sunday, the scope and new Magpul Hunter stock was on.

              I use the Primary Arm 4 -14x44 FFP scope. This is what the gun looks like now. Well, this, on a Harris style bipod

                Gotta love, the Magpul products. Their stuff is top notch and if you have problems, they stand behind their products.

                  My newer rifles are all Magpul furniture - AR, AK, Mossy 12 gauge and now this

                  Good products, tonnes of functionality, aesthetically pleasing. Where they kill you is with the pricing of the smaller accessories. I paid 20 for a tiny M-lok bipod swivel mount!! I am told the Magpul guys stuff their mattresses with extra Benjamins to add lumbar support.

                    On another note Remington has just filed for bankruptcy. Looks like after debt loading it s only worth about 250 MIL or so. Looks like it badly needs a 'suger daddy' investor.
                    If you are emotionally invested in 'believing' something is true you have lost the ability to tell if it is true.
