I'm thinking he's far too sophisticated for Planters.

Well it certainly does not require a genius to figure out the trigger is at the rear of the trigger guard and requires movement to the rear and the floor plate release is an inch and a quarter away at the front of the trigger guard and requires movement towards the front to activate it. This movement to the front if attempted by using the back of your finger hurts your knuckle as it requires quite a bit of pressure... more pressure than I can exert with the back my trigger finger. The floor plate release usually requires the use of a thumb. I believe the Remington genius who came up with placing the release lever where it is thought it would be a very protected spot as opposed to the front of the trigger guard where it would be exposed and more easily opened by accident... and by gosh this genius was right.

Have a look at new models pal. Release is inside the trigger guard.

So many experts, don't even know the new models have trigger guard on inside.

Can you read? Pal!

The release has been inside the trigger guard as long as I can remember. I have never said it was outside. Read the post again.

English a little difficult for you? As an expert what would the trigger guard be on the inside of?

It must be like a pea rattling around in a can!

Chago..... its time you went back to your little Sako thread.... obviously you know SFA about Remingtons, maybe rifles in general !!

The sad fact is that there ARE some experts here. You would do well to heed what they say instead of jamming that foot in your mouth.

That's the spirit mate,
If nothing else works,then a total pig headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see you though.

Oh ya, and there's a 6.5X55 somewhere in one of my gun crates, that's not in the picture.
