It’s unfortunate, for Remington but as the article and other writers have said it’s the best thing to happen in the situation they were in. I love the 870 and the 700 (action).
I’m pleased with Ruger getting Marlin. I am happy with what both companies do and have done. Sierra buying Barnes, I’m very pleased with both companies and what they did, although I thought Barnes was doing fine the way they were.
Side note, I hope Kimber does well here in Alabama. I told my wife I may put in for a job and help Kimber do away with the swartz safety.
