New Remington Production Quality

i am glad remington is back. i grabbed a adl in 06. shoots as good as the ones in the past. like the new trigger. mostly for the safety.
.... a 24inch 243 is next for me. not a tkka fan. would buy a axis first. jmho.
 
I hope Remington has improved their production.

I have a Rem 700 chambered in 221 Rem and 17 Rem and an XR100 chambered in 223 Rem. All purchased around 2005 plus minus a year or two.

All three needed new triggers and some bedding work to get their groups up to par.

They're not "back."

A crook who had lead the collapse of other legacy companies was appointed by former investors to bleed the company dry and recoup their investments, and after doing so, he bought the ashes out of bankruptcy to make money selling on the name.

So Big Green was murdered, then his murderer tanned his hide and is wearing him like a suit, pretending to be Big Green... (and that's being generous to ignore the fact that the murderer REALLY cut up the body and the other valuable parts of Big Green were sold to other companies which actually do care about firearms enthusiasts and the market in which we live)...

I've always loved Remington rifles ever since I was very young and owned a bunch of Model 12 .22RF pump rifles. Later Rolling Blocks, 700's, 721's, and now mostly Rolling Block and Hepburn rifles. Still have a 700ADL in .30-06, and a 700VSF in .22-250, and love them too.
I sincerely hope the new Remington owners do well, and make Remington a well respected firearms company again! They are the oldest name in firearms made in the USA still, and if they fail I'll be sad.
 
One could say Remington died 140 years ago if you want to be nit picky about the name and ownership!
Way back in 1886 E. Remington & Sons filed bankruptcy and was purchased by Winchester and Marcellus Hartley of UMC. The name changed to Remington Arms Co. and thus no longer owned by the Remington heirs.
Hartley bought out Winchester who kept insisting on shutting Remington down, and Hartley brought the company back to financial success for many years. None of the big names in old firearms makers have been owned by the same owners or family, and all of them have filed bankruptcy at some time, or other. And if they didn't go bankrupt they sold because they were about to do so.
 
I watched American Rifleman TV this morning and they were talking up the new green, showing that the REM headstamp is now R and that the ammo now, "much better."

Recognizing here - the Remington Ammunition company was bought by Vista Outdoors, and is not related in any way with the Remington Arms company manufacturing firearms.

Yep. They belong to the history books.
 
I bought a new-production 870 20 ga shotgun.

Not a rifle, but I like this gun a lot.

Top shotgun is the new 870. The middle is a 1980’s Ducks Unlimited 870 banquet gun and the bottom a Browning BPS.

(Sorry about the Olen Mills filter, I smudged the camera on my phone and didn’t notice until I put everything away.)

Stay safe.

By and large, not many living folks actually care about Remington as a company but for the legacy built on the R700, 870, and the Corelokt bullet. Tip of the hat to the 1100/1187. And that company deserved its legacy. That is, until D’Arcy looted the booty and drained the company beyond any functional operability, let the investors bail out with golden parachutes, then bought the wreckage for Pennie’s on the dollar to build a new company which could trade on the old Remington name.
