[quote=Remington6MM I can't see any manufacturer making a substanard anything just for one retailer?
I think the rifles Walmart sells are as good as any.
Some manufacturers will cheapen a product if they're squeezed hard enough by a BIG retailer.
Explain how this is done!!! A Rem 700 ADL sold by Wally World is the same Rem 700 ADL sold by any other retailer. The lower price at Wally World comes from buying in quantity...
Where did he say Remington? Ruger? Gun?

Exactly!
Electronics, especially televisions, lawnmowers, as well as many other types of products. High volume big box retailers strike deals with manufacturers to make special model runs to their specs at lower cost just for them. Besides benefiting from volume discount pricing, retailer's special models may have fewer features and/or lower cost components than open market models, and also have the retailer's own proprietary model numbers therefore can't be price matched.
