It sounds like a lot but I think many people will not hear about it and some more will opt out because it's a major hassle to ship the rifle back. Remington covered their butt by offering the replacement so they are off the liability hook.
Don't know what's up with Remington quality control anymore...they moved outta NY and things went south from there.
I sent in two last summer got them in about 8-9, all hassle free. You even get a 20% discount from the rem store just for checking. I have three that were ok.
