Don't be so sure, Remington aren't renowned lately for good QC and have produced more than a few duds in the last few years
what flutch said i would choose a howa over a remington these days but go back more then 10 years and remington was a nice rifle..... as for something big in caliber 300 norma mag is nice but lapua brass is $325 for 100 and that caliber needs a lapua size action so it makes it limited to that caliber barrel life is about 1000 shots if your into target shooting. 300 rum isnt much better either. 300 win mag and 300 wsm are similar the benchrest guys like 300 wsm and norma brass has good life. as for shooting decent size caliber like 375 H&H being the small magnum i load 270gr speers at 2700fps in my ruger no 1 and shoot off the bench but the shoulder knows about it after 10 shots for the day and 50 308 shots
