I may say they are an excellent choice, I hunt with one, the BDL SS DM version. Love it, got from Wholesale many years ago while visiting Alberta, local smith cut almost 12 oz of stainless off, fluted bolt, minimized barrel diameter and slabbed action. Now I am on here hunting for same gun in 308. Have a few Tikka's but taking gun OFF safe to load/unload just does NOT feel right.
Issues Remington had/has, Covid and being in Canada seams we are not a priority for imports. Dealers here gave up on Remington, nobody wants or has for sale.
What's a Rem guy to do. Hope we both find that elusive Rem gem.
