Thump's post re customer service made me think about this.
I bought a "slightly used" Remington 700 CDL a few years back. About a year after I got it the clear finish on the stock started chipping off (on the fore end tip). I called 'em and they had me send it to their repair dealer. They sent be back a brand new CDL stock. Fast forward a year or so.... The recoil pad on the stock started "rotting away", for lack of a better description.
I called Rem cust svc again. This time they mailed me a new recoil pad...no charge.
The othe week I noticed my wife's 700 SPS Youth rifle was having the same issue with it's recoil pad. Once again a call to Remington. Talked to a nice gal in NC. She said that serial number has one of a bad batch of Limbsaver Recoil Pads on it. She's sending me a new one AND screws....no charge.
SO you Rem 700 owners. IF your rifle's recoil pad starts "rotting", "melting" or "deteriorating"....or if you are looking at a used 700 that is....call Rem's Cust Svc line. It seems there is an "unadvertised" recall on them.
