I am going to take this gun back to the Gunsmith and have him double check it again.

When I took the gun in the fist time I talked to the gun smith but when I went to pick up the gun the gunsmith was off that day and nobody knew what to do. They finally got the password for the stores computer and were able to release the gun to me. I tested the empty gun one time while stil in the store and it seemed to work ok at that time. I should have tested in more than one time, but I didn't.

When I got home I noticed that the gun was not working property and I did some modifications myself as I didn't want to have to go though the hazzle of taking it back to the gunsmith. I didn't go hunting as I was not really happy with what happened and I dont' trust the gun at this time.

I will be taking the gun back to the gunsmith and show it to him and have him double check it again.

I may have him do some other work on the gun.

The new remington trigger is a bit larger than the origional trigger which was replace.

Most stocks for this Remington Model 660 in 222 cal don't have a brass screw in the stock to hold the stock together. I read that when a wooden stock get's a crack in it they will drill a small hole though the stock from side to side and then insert a brass screw across the stock to give it more strength. This is evidenly what has been done to my rifle stock. Although I never had this done at my request and I purchased this gun new in the early 1970's right before they discontinued this model.

The trigger guard is made out of plastic or rubber and I don't like it at all. It's not really strong and won't fit tight against the bottom of the stock. The spring is pushing hard against the trigger guard and it's causing the top of the trigger gard to not fit property.

I am wondering and hoping that I can get a replacement trigger guard that's made from metal not plastic. I'll talk to my gunsmith about this when I see him next time and take the gun back

I may want to get a new stock or have this stock bedded with epoxy to make the gun shoot better. But I want to see if that would be worth the money on this gun.

I would love to buy a new Remington Model 700 as I hear they are a great rifle. Perhaps go with a bigger cartrige in a new gun and keep the 222 for varmits. But I don't really know what I am going to do other than dream right now.
