Why would anyone buy a product from a company that has been in bankruptcy TWICE. They will have to build a rifle that will compete with a half dozen other companies in every respect and for less money. To me that means BANKRUPTCY 3 TIMES.
Sigh.....
Remington went bankrupt because their two previous owners borrowed over a billion dollars against Remington, pocketed the money and gave Remington the debt. Little of it was invested back into Remington.
It had nothing to do with Remington's firearms or sales.
The fact that Remington labored almost a decade with that debt is a testament to how well their business was doing.
Anyway,
I wonder how much the new Alpha 1 will cost? $2000? $2500?
A middle of the road, decent quality rifle, sort of like--you know--what Remington was manufacturing in the 70's-90's and what is missing from the rifle world currently.
Like some others, I'm waiting for the SS M700's to appear.
Enough already with the matte/synthetic M700's. Yes, the RemArms matte/synthetic ADL's are a definite improvement, the matte finish on the metal is smoother, the metal to stock fit is good, the bolt cycles smooth, and the 308 my friend has is quite accurate, but still........
