Saw a nice Remington 332 Peerless Field grade at Gander Mtn. the other night in 12-gauge.
Are these guns good? Read something about a recall but not what it was involving. Made in Ilion, NY.
Would be really nice as a woodside-style if they had left off the cheesy sideplates with the gold-filled retriever engraving.

The Peerless had a good feel to them, but they never caught anyone's attention. I've heard stories about parts breakage, which is probably what killed them off so quickly.
I just didn't get the impression that Remington had their heart into that gun (or any other o/u in the last 15 years). They had problems and they didn't do a whole lot to fix the problems. They just deducted that it was too expensive to make a o/u in the US and outsourced.

That's kind of what I was afraid of...Someone has already snapped it up, it looked like a nice gun at the time, but after reading about recalls, etc., etc., I figured it wasn't worth messing with.

I have one that that I use forupland hunting as well as skeet and have never had a bit of trouble with it. It has really nice wood with a palm swell and I love the way it feels.
