It's time to pick up that new 700 BDL in .270.
You've been wantin' that one for decades. You know it's true.
And Grandad's old 870 is a mighty fine shooter, but it looks like crap now and the ejector claw getting a round edge.
Remington is a very fine arms manufacturer. They make the sporting arms we grew up with. The new versions are even better based on the 700 in .270 I examined at Cabelas.
These are very fine arms and those who can, should help this company survive.

I have enough guns. Now the price of ammo needs to come down so I can stock up.

They should sell in Eastern Europe, like Poland and Hungary. Eastern Europe needs a second amendment culture, because Western Europe isn’t going to do a thing if Russia decides to expand, but Russia would never go into Eastern Europe if everyone had a rifle.

Remington should have pushed for Hillary if they wanted everyone to buy a dozen new guns before they are confiscated - or at least to rearm after all those horrible fishing accidents.< /s>

Good points but unfortunately the bean counters at Cerberus are running Remington now, and to make matters worse they took Marlin over awhile back which hoses the domestic supply of quality lever guns. (I know, Henry, and some imported production, but Marlin had always set the standard for lever guns IMHO.)
Remington continues to make some classics like the 700 and 870 but also they've made some questionable pieces, at least so I've heard.
Bargain on an R51, anybody?

So many guns were bought during Obama and in the run up to the election, that most people have about everything they want already, and feel safe until 2020.

If anyone is looking for a 1911 style pistol, the Remington R1s are nice guns. Made in the U.S. and reasonably priced.

I have a 70’s ADL in 270.
It is almost as accurate as my 2 custom bench rifles.
Another couple of boating accidents and I will be in the market for more....

Remington has had some recent problems—see the R51 for example. They had to recall the entire first run and they seem to be having trouble with the second run. Remington’s problems may not have much to do with a reduced demand for firearms but rather Remington’s recent history of putting out pistols/rifles that seem to have been less than satisfactory.

Do as was done with ObamaCare- Require everyone to buy guns. You want to keep your magnum, you can keep your magnum.

Nice that stuff is so cheap, but I care about the company and employees...I hope they sell the company and brand...perhaps that will minimize losses.

No thanks, I am not buying something that puts me on a list stored on government servers that in the coming years could be used to issue a no-knock warrant and allow jack booted gub'ment storm troopers to kick down my door in order to confiscate it.
I have no such items. See there was this boating accident...

Main plant is in Ilion NY and their new facility is in Huntsville AL. Plant is currently on layoff for a week, it is hoped this will help.

Remington has been run into the ground by its management group. They bought the company and took out more loans than they could ever hope to pay back, kept the money, and now the company is going down. The QC on a lot of their breadbasket guns is way down and over the past few years they have marketed some of the strangest pistols I have ever seen. People are still buying lots of guns - they’re just not buying Remington guns.

The problem with Remington is Americans just aren't into hunting like they used to be and Remington, Winchester, Marlin, Savage, etc. are viewed as "grandpa's hunting rifle" brands.
The kids today want the guns they used in "Call of Duty" --black rifles.
And grandpa ain't gonna be around much longer which leads to Remington's other problem. Like iconic guitar manufacturer Gibson is currently facing, Remington's biggest competition on the market are used Remingtons.
