Information in an e-mail I received from Tommy Millner, CEO of Remington, due to the many comments that they have received concerning the Marlin Bullseye logo no longer being put in the Marlin stocks.
He now has it under review. According to his e-mail Marlin had made the decision to stop putting the Bullseye in their stocks prior to Remington's purchase of Marlin.
I have no reason to doubt what the gentleman say's, and I will be checking back with him in the near future to see what the results of his review has shown and how he intends to abate the concerns of many Marlin owners concerning the Bullseye.

Here the official word about the Bulls-eye;
As promised, I wanted to follow up with you on the Marlin "Bulls Eye" issue which you brought to my attention.
Today, I spent most of the day at Marlin and I must tell you the initiatives underway to improve quality, speed up deliveries and modernise the plant were simply breath taking. The level of excitement in the work force was just very cool to see!
As a part of my visit I spent a good deal of time listening to the Marlin team tell me why they removed the bulls eye. All of their reasons were valid; this creates scrap, causes re work, and is a quality assurance pain in the neck. After listening to the reasons behind their decision I instructed them to put the bulls eye back on the guns from which it was removed late last year. This change is effective immediately.
In my discussions I reminded the team that some things, in spite of being a pain, are necessary as they are at the core of our most important asset-the Marlin Brand. They understood!
Thanks again for making me aware of this and I hope many more Marlin (and Remington) guns are in your future.
Best regards,
Tommy MillnerCEO
