Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Remington torn to pieces

Maybe whoever got the ammo will fix Thunderturds so they at least go off most of the time, too much to expect you would be able to hit anything with them. Friends dont let friends shoot Remington .22 ammo.

Bubba eating cake doesn't do much for the company's bottom line.

No doubt that ammo is a joke. When it does shoot that only starts your next chain of hassle of FTE or FTF the next round.

Hope Ruger doesn’t get the Rem 700, and make it as inaccurate as Ruger centerfires.

I think this is a good move for all of the companies involved. Everything is going to America companies and real manufacturing companies not another holding company looking to leverage every cent it can and then bail.

I see Ruger and Marlin being a good fit. Ruger is innovative and a leader in making decent products at low cost.

Sierra should be a good fit for Barnes. Sierras a quality company with good target and varmit bullets but it didn’t have a top of the line type big game hunting bullet.

Ruger only got the Marlin line, the non marlin Remington brand gun line went to a real Estate capital investment group. H&r, Dpms, stormlake, aac and parker to a capital group ran by founder of Palmetto State Armory and bushmaster to Franklin Armory

Sig Sauer which has a plant in Arkansas as well, is the backup bidder.

So the Remington branded firearms is with another holding company?

What a twisted web! Maybe PSA can sell a 700 with enhanced trigger?

I shoot boxes and boxes of that stuff and if you can't hit anything, I would expect it to be the operator.

Obviously it will shoot in some guns. It’s reputation for being one of the least reliable major brand makes of ammo is well deserved in my experience with it.
In fairness I haven’t used it in probably five years maybe they improved it’s reliability. It was so bad that I refuse to buy it even when on sale. I’ve had a few guns that were reliable with almost everything but Remington Thunderbolts. Including one bolt action that would extract anything but Thunderbolts without issue. Every single Thunderbolt had to be dugout of the chamber. Tight chamber? Weak extractor? I don’t know but it was the only ammunition to get me trouble.

OK, so it is obvious it will shoot in some guns, but not just yours.

Ruger no longer makes their 77/22 walnut/blued.

For center fires you can’t buy a 77/Hawkeye in wood/blued, only wood/stainless/threaded.

They’ve gone big on RAR plastic price point stuff.

Red Label shotguns are long gone.

#1s are ultra limited production.

Does that bode well for a 39 reappearance?

So will Be Fiocchi in Little Rock Arkansas, Sig Sauer in Jacksonville AR and Vista in Lonoke AR ?

If so that means that all three would be less than 45 minutes from each other ,probably closer to 30 minutes.

23 Minutes from Lonoke to Jacksonville, 19 minutes from Jacksonville to Little Rock, 28 Minutes from Lonoke to Little Rock.

Back when I was 18 I used to drive from Brinkley Ar to Jacksonville Ar to hook up with a Gal I knew There and when circumstances allowed to go on over to Little Rock and Hook up with a Gal I knew there.

That was 42 Years ago
The years have gone by fast

Riiight it must be my lack of firearm maintenance. That Remington Thunderbolt ammunition is far and away one of the most (probably the most) absolutely hated .22 lr on the market with countless negative reviews describing similar issues would say otherwise.

Not when you put it like that but the one hope might be as someone else posted the marlin 39a would seem like a natural fit with the Ruger Single-Six and Bearcat. I’d feel better about it though if Bill Ruger we’re still around. It’s going to be interesting to see what Ruger/Marlin come up with.

Yes....a real estate capital company at that!

Remington is dead set on killing Remington.

We love it in the hunter safety classes and KAMO (Kids and Mentors Outdoors) outings, because the bricks are cheap, the ammo goes bang with very few misfires and extraction issues. Pumps, bolt actions, single shots and semi-auto rifles as well as some handguns were utilized.

Joke of the day!

Ruger has been making Blaxkhawks in 45 for what 50 years. Plus.

And they still can't get the throats right.

How many years did they put bad barrels on their guns?
And fanboys blame the vendors.
A batch? Maybe. Should they have found it?
But over years?

No, Rugers quality control is way to schiddy to fix anybody's mess.
