I hope they bring back the V3. I need some shims for mine. IMHO the 1100 should be a given.

HOLY PRESSED BASKET WEAVE BATMAN!

You can call me a "cross shooter"



I like bolts & pumps.

They are not just queens either.

6mm Rem



270 Win - 22 steps



30-06



They work.

My example of one is a 1980's 30-06 Rem pump that I bought new that would not reliably extract after being sent twice to an authorized repair center. It got sold and I moved on. Nice concept if it worked for the spray and pray crowd. My bigger question is are the Rem primers going to be made again???

When I was a kid there was a family of road hunters that cruised around where I hunted looking for easy shots, regardless of whose land it was. they all used Remington pumps. thats what I always think of when I see one. Redneck road hunters.

Looks like some 1100 parts on the right of the gun cabinet bottom

Actually it's a rubber band holder from a set of old Uncle Mikes scope covers.

Ah thought it was part of the gas system...

Remington will initially manufacture the products that are the most profitable, and expand from there. That doesn't necessarily mean the most profit per unit, but the products that can generate large revenues with high profits. I don't know for sure which models those are, but I'd guess it would be 870s, 1100s, and lower-feature versions of the 700.

As a "re-startup" business, that's what they have to do in order to generate cash flow to invest more into their business, and expand the product offering from there.

The Remington 760 family of pump guns are typically quite accurate, more accurate than most other comparable lever and semi-auto sporting rifles chambered for cartridges in the 270/280/-'06 power range. When you're jump shooting whitetails in heavy cover, carrying a rifle that allows for quick follow up shots often gives the hunter a better opportunity to punch his tag. Besides, they have been proven time and again by people like the Benoits and Berniers.

IIRC, Layne Simpson has written articles that praised the 760/7600 for their accuracy once the trigger pulls had been improved.

You regularly see Remington 760/7600 series rifles in the hands of deer/bear/moose hunters in northern New England, New York, and in PA because semi-autos have long been restricted there.

You said 45 billion musta been 4.5 billion or even million

I keep hearing how bad late Remingtons are. I have or had shot several that were really good shooters, 2 6.5 CM, 1 6MM CM, 1 308, and 1 300 WM. All were much better than 1" at 100, The 2 6.5's the 6mm, and the 308 6" and sometimes a bunch better at 600. I would like to see them come back. Also have some from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's. .223 - 30/06. Some shot as well as the later 700's but none shot better.

Look at what people are buying, no one wants that kind of light and handy bolt rifle these days, the modern consumer likes heavy rifles preferably with a metal chassis, heavy barrels threaded for a suppressor and top it off with a bipod and 4-16x or better scope. It's a short walk to the tree stand.
