Maybe I and some others have seen or heard of more and better evidence than those championing the Remingtons. Now you've read otherwise.

The fact that Winnie's are near 3 times stiffer and resist torquing better than the Remmies helps. Few people realize these advantages. The more recoil they have, the more these advantages help. It was pip-squeak tiny cartridges that made cheap, flimsy, lightweight round receivers they were made for popular with accuracy buffs.
