I remember when they listed Lon Horiuchi’s name as a satisfied customer of their H-S precision sniper rifles. I wrote their president a very polite but venomous email and actually got a response. My suggestion of a boycott rattled him. He changed his stance and pulled all the advertising.

Perhaps someone here can use this: tommy.millner@remington.com

Be polite and remember that he is a gunmaker and generally on our side. He might still be planning on moving outta New York. Is the contract tied to producing it in NY?

When it came out the Lon was promoting HS, somebody posted a picture of Vicki Weaver to their “Trophy Page”. They took it down, but not before it got all around the net.

I've met the man. Remington's headquarters are just a few miles up the road from me in Madison, NC. Their Custom Gun Shop has been a marketing client of mine in the past.

Y'all are barking up the wrong tree, here. Remington began in New York, that's their historic main plant in Ilion. Going on two centuries of history there, tradition, jobs at stake, longtime employees.

Trying to boycott every single company that doesn't act in absolute perfect accord with demands, and demands made after the fact at that, will weaken the meaning and impact of any such boycott in general.

Remington Arms is not your enemy. They've just elected to stay in the manufacturing facility they've always been in.
