Remington Arms relocates

[TTundra]

New owners taking a big and much needed step. The union negotiations in NY may have soured them a little too much. I'm guessing they eventually leave NY completely soon enough. Hopefully the brings some life back to the brand.

Good for Remington. Hope this improves production and quality for them.

I’ve always been a Remington fan, the 721/722 and 700 models have always been favorites of mine. But the late production rifles sucked, I bought a varmint laminate that looked like the fit had been done by children. I hope they come back with the quality and accuracy they have been known for!
as for moving out of NY, bravo! I don’t know why a gun manufacturer would stay and give taxes to a state that is venomous toward firearms and the citizens that own them. Before I get the “not all NY is that way”, I know that. But unfortunately the state is governed by one city and it is sad because the state itself has much to offer!

Agree, if they don't go back to the way they made guns 25yrs ago, it's prob not going to matter. A buddy hate a late 870 that was a pos, another with a 1187. Pretty hard to screw up a 870

Cool all my family lives there and I have a farm there

They can have the highest quality current workers or train new ones --- If Remington is to improve their products, it starts with executive management. For too long Remington intentionally put out a dangerous model 700 and overall shoddy products. New ownership = new opportunity

Really hoping it works out for Remington No denying they've had their self inflicted problems in the past, but that said, I bought my first 700 in the early 70s and my latest one 2 weeks ago. Owned well over a dozen, all 700s, and every one has functioned flawlessly. Unfortunately i know not everyone has had my luck.

Love the 700 rifle & 870 shot gun hope the get their shit together asap.

 

[Trogon]

Hoping for good changes. I was happy to see Ruger getting the Marlin division though.

Weatherby set the example when they left California and relocated to Sheridan, Wyoming. Hope Remington can make a comeback

 

[Hogpatrol]

New management, new workforce, gun friendly state and politicians should be a recipe for success. Wish them the best of luck.

Good for Remington. Vote with your feet and your dollars!

I’m setting up a Sheridan, Wy vanguard right now for my friends father. We actually won it in a RMEF sponsor drawing and gave it to him. With the new address on the receiver I don’t feel like I need to throw a sheet over it if I have company. Lol

Isn't the new guy in charge the one who ruined Remington to being with
