Remington has a history of making fine firearms they need to get back to that.

Nah, the Whitworth rifle. The rifle that let a confederate make the 1,200 yard shot.Andy is going to rap our fingers with a yard stick like the old school marm he is............but only one state has the right to succeed....and that would be Texas. The highest quality firearms of the war were Remington Zouave rifles and 1858 handguns.
My Remington
870 Wingmaster , from 1962...
Model 33 .22 rifle from 1933...
Sporter 1917 rifle , from 1918...
And NEF Pardner from 2015 or thereabouts....( Remington buyout era )
Are all going strong and work well.
They were indeed at one time a excellent gunmaker... I hope that someday soon , they get back to that status.

My German Black powder world champion buddy has hundreds of guns from the period........the best to him was the Zouave. He won the world championship with one and he owns probably over 300 orignal match black powder target rifles from every country that produced them.Nah, the Whitworth rifle.

They were. Then a corporation got involved that said F quality and pushed for numbers. I don't hate Remington, I hate what the corporation did to Remington. I WANT Remington to be good again.They were indeed at one time a excellent gunmaker...
I doubt he had a Whitworth rifle. Those things are well north of 100 grand. It wasn't common, but a confederate soldier would dump what he got just for a Whitworth.My German Black powder world champion buddy has hundreds of guns from the period........the best to him was the Zouave.

He indeed did.......several as I remember even had very high quality English and German rifles. His name is Manfred Kroshael if you want to look him up. He owned the Ford dealership in Whitlitch. Every wall in his good size house was lined from top to bottom with antique firearms. The best stuff, he kept in a room with a vault door. He had several of the belt buckle guns used by Hitler's guard, Several of the 2 digit serial number Bouchart pistols, and ,ore Lugers than you can imagine.......but his favorite was civil war American rifles. I helped him import several into Germany. He had the largest collection of firearms owned by Kaiser Wilhelm in the world.They were.
