RE: Has any one seen the new Rem. OU
We are confusing the "Spartan" and the "Premier" grades here. I have not seen the premier, nor do I know anything about it, but I have handled one 12 Guage "Spartan" and was very disappointed. I expected Remington to require at least a reasonable wood to metal fit, but they obviously bought the cheapest model available (assuming, of curse that the piece I handled was representative). The "Cheap" O/U that has impressed me so far is the the Mossberg "Silver Reserve", which. if I am not mistaken, is a made by Kahn. I believe that Mossberg has put some restrictions on what they will accept from the manufacturer, as the two examples I have handled seemed to be put together better than "Kahn" labeled models I have seen before. This is just my opinion, and I hope it helps, but do not consider thid to be definative information.
