whats the deal with remington?

Buy a Wingmaster and not the crappy Express. People keep buying the cheapest model and wonder why they get a poorly finished gun. Duh!

BTW Remington contributes to the "bashing" problem by raising people's expectations.

Read Mossberg's marketing copy and you get the message: "It's a darn good gun for the money." People know what they're buying, and Mossberg delivers on their promises. And people tend to like their Mossbergs.

Read Remingtons' marketing copy, and you'd think they were selling you a Perazzi. Small wonder that so many people are disappointed...

Not a single problem with my 1970's era Wingmaster. Finest pump I have ever owned. No problem with my Mossberg either, great home defense gun.

The main problem people seem to have with Remington is they don't like that they were bought by that big investment company, Cerberus and prices have seemed to go up while quality goes down. I wouldn't buy one.

Remington has gone downhill since they started sponsoring a Nascar. I heard one club member make the comment that it was about the extent of Remington"s contribution to the shooting sports.
