On paper it looks great with that mauser action. My buddy bought one in .300wm and had absolutely terrible groups. He fought with Remington for a long time and finally got them to take a look at it. After 5 months and countless calls getting the run around he finally got the rifle "fixed". Due to a rotater cuff injury he hasn't been able to confirm it has been fixed.

There's an interesting development. Those actions, barreled actions and rifles were made in the Czech Republic, and imported by Charles Daly fir years...and they were a great value. There was an interruption in production during the Bosnian conflict, but they resumed production. Remington outbid Chas Daly and the same products increased in price 10%. CZ imports under its own banner (CZ USA is based in Kansas City, MO) and there was reportedly a wrinkle in the plan. Remington, as I understand it, has nothing to do with the production process; they simply import the 798 and package it in Remington's green boxes. I honestly don't know if Remington is still importing and distributing the 798. As for the 798s that made it to the market, they are very good rifles, still well worth the money, especially if you appreciate Mauser sporters. I'm not surprised to read Jay's entry above; as I understand it, Remington never manufactured the 798 and they weren't really equipped to repair them under warranty. I agree with Steve182; Remington's reputation for prompt customer service
leaves something to be desired. Briefly, the 798 should be a very satisfying choice but if Remington hasn't resolved the problem, just bring the rifle to a gunsmith with a fine reputation for working on Mauser rifles.
