RemArms is Going Away

I have several nice older Remingtons too. My newest one by far is a Model 700 that I bought at BiMart 21 years ago. I don't have experience with anything newer, only what I've heard.

It does seem that corporate culture is only about profit, with little interest in pride of workmanship and a quality product.

See you are in the know pride and craftsmanship are out the door it is all about the cooperate parachute now ! When you have the old quality stuff hang on to it I am telling you it is better than stock ! On the plus side you can still play/enjoy it gold/silver bars not so much !

One of my favorite hunting rifles is an old Remington 721 30-06 from the early 1950's. It's nothing special really, lots of honest wear and tear, inexpensive Weaver scope of the same vintage, but it's just a great, well-made gun that shoots as good today as when it was made 70 years ago.

Funny, I haven't hunted in 25 years, and don't see myself ever taking it up again, but I can't seem to let go of my old rifles.

Meh. Whatever. What are we supposed to do, care? Has Rem cared about its customers enough to provide a quality product? Not lately, that's for sure. Their brand has become synonymous with trash, which is pretty damned sad, but their own doing. Hell, Monica Lewinski has a better brand these days.
