Default RE: Remington to buyout Marlin

It's more like issues.

My family kept guns in a display case in West, TN. There were some very old guns from the 1800's, A TC Contender, two 1187's, and two Baretta shotguns. The only guns in the case that would rust constantly, the Remingtons.

My cousin and I have spent some decent money attempting to fix his 7400 with no results. Didn't work since day one. Just a bunch of junk.

A friend that I've hunted with several times in TN had the bolt handle on his remington 700 break off.

My cousin has a remington 700 that on a good day shoots 3" at 100 yards.

Yes Remington sells more guns than anyone else so of course they are going to have more issues than anyone else but I've experienced enough of them personally or among friends to never want to own one again.

Also price is not always an indication of quality. Check out www.seecamp.com. I don't think there isa higher quality pocket pistol made but the price is very much in check.
