Gun Company (H-S Precision) hires thug/murderer LON HORIUCHI as spokeperson

This is really incredible.

H-S Precision is sells hunting and tactical rifles. Here is a scan from the back cover of their Catalog. Note who did the write-up (circled in yellow):

For the three of you who don't know who Lon Horiuchi is, he's the FBI sniper of Ruby Ridge infamy who murdered Vicki Weaver in cold blood while she was holding her baby.

I'm not sure what H-S was thinking when they decided to hire this despicable thug as a spokesperson, but they are in dire need of remedial correction for this deplorable business decision. No gun decent gun owner/buyer should give them a single dime of their business. For those wishing to contact them, here's the info:

Lon. I typed too fast.

The FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team official motto since Ruby Ridge:

“WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST”!!!

“WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST”!!!

I heard it was “Mother tested, Government approved.”

I saw this tasteless page posted elsewhere. Don’t look unless you are prepared to get angry.

It is actually a spoof created by Montana Shooting Sports Association to point out the stupidity in allowing this endorsement.

Remington's response, sent via email, to this fiasco:

Thanks for your note.

Was Mr Horiuchi charged and convicted of a crime in the event you reference?

Thank you

Tommy Milner

Fortunately Viper makes much better actions to use as a base for a sniper rifle.

[Squantos]

Well Tommy Milner just confirmed for me that I have bought my last Remington product.

Thanks for sharing this with us ....... Stay safe !

[Lurker]

Damn. I really wanted a Remington 700 BDL.

Oh well, I guess I'll be getting a Winchester instead.

[Lurker]

And for the record I did get a 'read' receipt from an Ed Dunnigan at H&S, but no response yet.

My guess is he's a garden variety marketing weenie.

[Squantos]

Yeah same here.......confirmed delivery at H&S and Remington.

They ignore me they ignore my dollars. Guess price of new guns will go up to cover their losses. Doom on em .

[Squantos]

Get a Rem 700 by all means ....just don’t buy a new one. Find a good action and build from that !

[Lurker]

Get a Rem 700 by all means ....just don’t buy a new one

That means no more Remington ammo or components of any kind. No Remington anything.

Ask the idiot if Jim Zumbo was charged and convicted of a crime in the event which we all know put him out of a job...courtesy of US.

Ask Remington to go mosey on over to Colt's Mfg and ask them how they like being in the situation of having (almost) an entire customer base of government? How's that working out for them? :-)

Remington will have some back peddling to do soon.

This won’t last, but somebody posted Vick Weaver’s pic on the H-S “Trophy” page.

That will leave a mark.

[wardaddy]

That will leave a mark.

[wardaddy]

No more Core Lokt?

whitetail deer all over Dixie will rejoice over that one...

probably the topseller

no worries, I can live with Winchester, Hornady or Federal/Nosler or Black Hills Gold if need be

[hiredhand]

I got a screenshot copy of it. H-S will get the idea soon. They should just get it over with and disassociate with Horiuchi. Historically, things like this never work well for those in H-S’s position.

[hiredhand]

Actually, that page isn’t at H-S. There’s an explanation at the page though. :-)

[Squantos]

Yep...only thing my sendero 300RUM “really” liked was factory Remington 180gr nosler partition.

Oh well....6 boxes of that still in the safe so I will have to ration it out .....:o)

I am tired of companies selling out. I really am done with em .......

Hope yer well WD !

Stay safe !

[Tijeras_Slim]

I see now, thanks. Still a devastating web page.

[Squantos]

WOAH !! Holy Batcrap !!! WOW !

A keeper !..........Damn sad yet true.

How do I do a screen capture ?!?!??.....quick !
