Should make a lot of members here happy.


Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

Probably best thing to happen to Marlin.
If someone would take Remington, get rid of the schit handguns, the schit rifles and make the 700, a decent couple rimfires, the 1100, 870 & 11-87 and do them right finally, they could probably be GTG.

Hopefully Ruger fixes Marlin QC. Someone could bring back Remington as a mid range brand with the 700, bag the cheapo lines and keep the scatter guns.

Green box Remington ammo has always been decent and popular.

Hope Sierra doesn’t F up Barnes.
Probably go like this -

What about Bubba and his $279 price point?

No doubt Ruger has the skills and knowledge to resurrect the Marlin name and restore its reputation and quality. Wonder if they might start making the 39A again?

Not sure Ruger will do much to help with Marlin's QC. Ruger has great customer service but lousy QC. The customer is Ruger's QC department. I like Ruger, but it's true.

Sorry to see Remington go this way. Ya gotta figure someone will buy the rights to Remington branded firearms. I just wish they had been better managed. I wonder if Vista will use the plant to expand their Federal & CCI lines or if they will keep the Remington brand and ammo line-up? I hope they bought the Rem. ammo brand and rights to their products.

I thought that maybe Fiocchi might buy out the Remington Plant In Lonoke Arkansas.

I'm glad that didn't happen. I'm happy that a US company got it. Vista/Federal will put out a quality product. Fiocchi would have most likely put their cheap Euro primers that are brittle and easy to pierce on the ammo.

It would be great if Ruger brought the 39A back and did it right. Time will only tell. Where is the info on who got what? Just curious is all as I hadn’t read anything anywhere prior to this.
