[QUOTE=Colorado Luckydog;3782349]You are finally right. Some have started to believe that Remington's quality is not as good as it was. The people that believe that are not smart enough to make their own decisions and are easily led. They believe whatever is said and in print, no matter who said or wrote it and what their agenda is.

Jeff, to make my point, whens the last time YOUR Remington went off without someone pulling the trigger? As far as that goes, when's the last time any of the people that are on this forum, YOUR Remington went off without someone puilling the trigger???

That's what I thought.[/QUOTE

I don't own a Rem. But I am in search of a new rifle.I have a Husqvarna (no longer made) a customn Sako and Browning A-bolt. Now the last time I bought rifle was in 91.As we all know things change through the years some for better some for worse. When I buy anything I take my time and make my careful decisions on what I had previously or if I have never had a certain product brand before, I look at other testimonials, I reasearch I come to my own conclusion based on the presentation that both sides give.
I gonna go out there and say it, when it comes to purchasing a product brand that I have never had before, I'm the one that can't think for himself, and make my self believe everything is A-ok. I am not able to put myself out, without doing some type of background knowledge of how it performs
today.If I was gonna buy a gun over the counter today, with all the other choices of Rifle Brands out there, it would not be a Remington.But I'm also
patient person and not easily led. I know Remingtons past, and know they are more than capable of making it right, I have held off for a couple of years, I can hold off longer and go with a custom Rem 700 made by a competant Gunsmith, or even wait until more people start believing in them again.I am in no hurry to buy, and I do believe in Remingtons outstanding history and in their future,but I am able to make a bias decision on them
at this moment because of court judgments and rulings and tesimonies of
of current owners, and their opinions plus their employees including their
own designer. I do this can I am wanting to purchase a new rifle I want
on that won't let me down.With Rem and the declining number of followers, and these current allegations and rulings, leads me to believe there is
better choices today. Not tomorrow today. But I am patient, and I do give them oppurtunities to prove they are a worthwhile investment. I like only buying once. Once I have I own for life and am proud to pass down.
