Other than the Model 700 rifle, i cannot tell you any other firearm they make or anyone that owns anything other than the 700. They have made themselves that much non existent in the market for decades

They make the R1 1911’s, these are fine guns, different variations of the full size and commander size, different calibers. They also make the RM 380, the RP9, RP45 pistols.

Doesn't Remington still own Bushmaster? I read they were getting out of the MSR market and concentrating on their hunting rifles. I think some of their woes may be from the Sandy Hook lawsuits, since a Bushmaster AR15 was used. I have a few of their Marlin lever action rifles that I like.

UPDATE: a dealer friend of ours received an email today from distribution giant RSR Group notifying them of the following: Remington Outdoor Company informed RSR at the SHOT Show that they will be focusing on their core hunting and shooting brands – AAC, Barnes, Marlin and Remington. Bushmaster...

I think Bushmaster is out of business.

I’m surprised they lasted as long as they have.

How about the model 7 783 and 7600 model 572 552 Versa max and the V3 and the 700CP. The 7600 was my first deer rifle. Love that pump action.

I've hunted with an 870 Express for about 25 years now. Those things are tanks.

Let me help you, they were tanks. Modern production is plastic bits everywhere. What used to be standard heavy wall barrels are now limited to military and law enforcement. They should market them as,"this really ain't half of your granddad's shotgun. "

 

[Funwithfuel]

Yeah, that and Remington/Cerberus destroyed DPMS as well as Bushmaster and Tapco. No love for big green from me.

 

[benstt]

That's a pity about the 870. I love mine. It, along with my grandfather's 1894 from 1908 and my Garand, are the most likely heirlooms in my safe. I have a lot of love for the two Bushies I bought last year. They work great. Just as good as the rifles I bought 15 years ago.

And if they go under so Does the
Marlin Firearms brand, I worked for Marlin for 15 years, I have no respect for Remington.

So if I'm reading correctly, the Navajo nation runs like Dicks sporting goods? Maybe they'll cull the weak and go back to quality? I doubt it.

To many Chiefs not enough Indians.
Pun Intended.

To many Chiefs not enough Indians.

Please let me clarify that statement.
I have no issues or discriminatory feelings towards Native Americans, they are definitely people that have been treated badly by our government.
The “ To Many Chiefs not Enough Indians”
Saying is what I believe is Remington’s biggest problem. Way to many people at the top of the pay scale making very bad decisions and not enough mid level minds to create positive change.
it’s what happened to the
Olin Ski Co./Tri-Star Sports
back in the late 80’s.

New ones are junk. Son used our buddies 12 gauge 870 to see if he wanted to move up to a 12 from the .20 gauge. Was not impressed with the lack of quality. Now given, its a $275-$300 gun new, so is what it is

I remember a few years back, 5-8 I believe Remington had an issue with one of their bolt action rifles, not sure of the model.
Many many owners reported the gun would not shoot with a large percentage reporting after pulling the trigger and nothing happened if the gun was bumped or dropped it would go off on its own. The most serious concern was Remington REFUSED to repair those guns and REFUSED to do a recall.
This I believe was around the time of their first bankruptcy filing.
