See 9/24/09 page 8A.

Remington took out a full page ad to celebrate the 10 MILLIONTH 870 made.:)

Never thought I'd see a modern American newspaper run a gun ad...they must be about out of business. Thankfully Remington seems to be doing much better than them.

[Dave McCracken]

Great!

I wonder how the 10M model will look......

[Tim the student]

Cool, I'd like to see that.

[Youngster]

Yes!

And I hope it made antis weep big rolling tears when they seen it!

[Publius1688]

I hope that a million anti's, nationwide, had their days ruined!!

[Virginian]

Just for info, Serial # 10,000,000 is not an Express.

Thanks for the info, JohnBT!

It is a remarkable story for this company and the 870. To have sold so many in the past 60 years. I like the Ithaca 37 and have 3 of them, however the 870 has greater appeal and a much greater success story. Where others have failed during this period of time Remington has succeeded.

Too bad nobody reads the paper anymore---Ad dollars would have been better spent elsewhere.

[dom1104]

I agree. who reads a paper?

[VINTAGE-SLOTCARS]

Thanks for the heads up,, i entered,, thanks again!!!!!!!!

[Tim the student]

Thanks John BT!

[highorder]

I would have loved to see it!

Does anyone have an onlibe source for past papers? Perhaps a scan or photo of the ad?

[throdgrain]

Is this ad on the net anywhere? I'd love to see it!

[Cougfan2]

Franky, I'm surprised USSRA Today even let the Ad run :rolleyes: , but given the state of the print news industry today they're probably grabbing every advertising dollar they can get.

[KBintheSLC]

Holy cow... 10 million! I knew they were very popular, but I had no idea to which extent.

[WMK1911]

Thanks John for the info. Just entered good luck to you.

[Rshooter]

Interesting....Seems recently with some of the new products out, like the R-15, that Remington is going to make gun grabbing a whole lot harder these days.

Thanks for the heads up. I entered also. Though I never seem to have the luck to win those contests.

I agree with the previous poster: I like Ithaca's and have a few 37s. Though I have a Remington 1100 that my grandfather handed down to me and I took my first dove with a few weeks ago.

Glad after over a 100 some odd years, they're still going strong.
