Sad to hear, JMB must be rolling over in his grave. I gazed at a new Marlin/Freedom Venture Group .45-70 last month in Stainless/Laminate, the stock was not fitted to the receiver precisely, the rear sight was crooked on the barrel to the left and the action was harsh. I simply couldn't justify spending 700 clams for a gun that would have to have hundreds of dollars of gunsmithing to be an acceptable firearm. In your case a well thought out correspondence to Brownings president is in order, often more-than-not, issues like these never reach administration.
