I think with the volume of hunting arms Remington has manufactured, along with their history, a Remington forum is warranted. I'd venture to say they have contributed far more than Savage, nothing against Savage-they make fine hunting rifles as well. Many companies have had ups and downs through the years, and the last thing any of us should do is wish ill on any firearms manufacturers. We need to stick together and support each other. At the end of the day, the anti-gunners would love to see sportsman boycott any arms or ammunition company, the old divide and conquer method at work.I have heard Remington has made big improvements recently to quality. Hopefully they continue on that track and remain a strong contributor to the American sportsman, hunter and shooter. I have had very good success with 700s and 870s, and will continue to buy them.
