It's probably got to be one of the worst product launches of all time.
They've been advertising the ammo for the better part of a year. I haven't even gone looking for it, but I've scene ammo on the shelves since May.
And NO rifles available yet??
Apparently CZ will have one out shortly. I kick myself that I let a Ruger Hornet go down the road a year or so back. Have a CZ that I kept over the Ruger, but would have liked to rebarrel the Ruger.
I don't know about THAT, anything Remington does seems to be planned to fail, especially their intro of the .17 Fireball, which is practically dead already, AND they aren't doing a run of brass for it, the .17 Remington, the .221 Fireball, or a few others, for quite awhile, and a lot of distributors are already OUT of brass for them.
Helluva note to intro a new cartridge/rifle combo, but not provide cases/ammo for them, ain't it?
At least Hornady has the ammo out there for purchase, something Remington failed miserably at.
