I was at my local today looking at a new Remington 700 CDL, the thing that led me to this was shooting a mates rifle a while ago which is a 700 CDL.
Same rifle AFAIK, but my mates is about 15 years old or something I think.
Wasn't sure if I was imaging things, but I recalled my mates old rifle feeling a bit more solid that the new off the shelf one? The guy at the counter also said he wasn't a fan of the 700 "any more" as he thought old ones were better too.
I'm going on memory here about my mates one, I'd only shot it a few times so not intimately familiar with it... Tough to compare but I was thinking buying a second hand one might be the go instead of a new one if this is the case?
Anyone shot new and old? What do you think, Remington not what they used to be?
