In 2010, Empire State Development, the agency that works with private companies to attract and retain jobs, announced $2.5 million in grants and subsidies to help Remington bring its Marlin lever-action gun production from Connecticut to Ilion and add 100 jobs. That followed two grants in 2009 worth $3 million for renovations and machinery.

He who eats my bread, sings my song...
Back in my gun owning days I too, like millions of others, owned a Remington hunting rifle. It didn’t cost me millions of dollars either.
Obviously, the technology of then is not the technology of now. There are MANY exceptional rifles that can out shoot an old Remington hunting rifle. Today’s technological gun manufacturers produce rifles that can shoot beyond 1000+ yards with EXTREME accuracy. Remington is on that list of manufacturers. (Yes, it takes a good shooter to achieve the end results).
The article only states the cost of the rifles to be produced/sold to the gubmint, NOT the kind/type/technology of the rifles themselves, nor does it state WHERE these rifles are to be sent/used.
Before we “fire” 9quit buying) Remington, we need to get ALL the facts.
Remington belongs to the freedom group, owned by cerberus. Who owns cerberus?
