watching the breakup of remington, what hasn't been clear is who has bought the remington rifles, shotguns, and pistol rights. ruger gets marlin, Vista is buying the ammo division which makes sense because of their business with federal/CCI.

from what I can say they paid $13 million and roundhill is basically a real estate company. I find it interesting that the news has been centered around what will happen to the other companies like marlin, the ammo line, and barnes bullets. The actual gun business that started it you have to dig for that info. tuff to imagine remington rifles and shotguns going totally away, but from the looks of it that may happen. Wow what a story. they should make a movie out of cerbus and its vampiring of the company.

A quick review brings to mind three Remingtons in my safe at this time. In no particular order - a 6mm Remington 40X ( rebarreled from a .243), a .220 Swift 700 Classic, a .338 Win. magnum in a stainless synthetic M700. In the past have numerous others with emphasis on the Classic models.

I own several Remington bolt action rifles, Models 722, 700, 700Ti, and Model Seven. A couple of them bought in the 90's and that when I saw Remington quality going down hill so from then on only bought used. The Rem 722 I have was mfg in 1948 and I acquired it in the 80's and had it rebarreled to 7mm08 when Remington made the 7mm08 a factory round and Ive taken elk, antelope, bear, deer, coyotes with it and am still using it as its (IMHO) the best bolt that Rem ever made as far a quality goes.

Same with the few Rem 870's I have, all acquired in the 70's-80's.

Have a Remington 700 custom electric razor.

All the rem firearms fell in a sink hole.

Are you saying a thread has taken off on a tangent?

Oh, the unprecedented horror.

I wonder if the new Remington firearms owners had to inherit all the lawsuits too? All the people who are Cerebus and stockholders of Cerebus should have a price on their heads. MB

Remember back when people liked the NRA, the NRA ran a survey Winchester model 70 or Remington 700, shooters and hunters picked the Remington 700 almost 2 to 1, amazed the NRA, and everyone else.

Just as long as the new owners keep on with slide action centerfires.

Just got in a 700 C-grade today from the custom shop. I'll post my impressions and some photos in the next few days. So far, it looks REALLY nice. Be interesting to see what Remington can do now with all their issues.

The only Remington left in my safe is an original Remington 700 Ti in 7mm RSAUM. I had a 700 CDL in 7/08 that I wish I hadn't sold.

Been shooting and owning them for decades. Haven't bought a new one in years but I still shoot the ones I have. What happens to Remington now as a company has no bearing on rifles and shotguns already owned. Everyone has parts for them and any gunsmith can work on them.

Survey's like this were once done on the 870 & the Model 12 Winchester. The M12 is a great piece of machining, but gun writers, engineers, etc, agreed the 870 was a better design. Guess that's why Rem sold over 11 million of them.

Over 4 million 1100 shotguns, 6 or 7 million model 700 rifles.

The most new cartridges developed by any standing American Gun Co. (till last week)

Americas oldest gun company.

All fugged by corporate raiders, biased news media & lawyers/judges hell bent on suing American companies into the ground. I shouldn't give a flip about this as I really don't need anymore Remingtons, I've got plenty. But whose next??????

The turn of events of all this will have us all buying EVERYTHING we purchase,,,, from China.
