RE: U.S. Vs. Foreign Gunmakers
Okay, lets face it. Remington has made basically the same shotguns since the 1950's. Yes they are good and reliable, but that doesn't mean they are in the same grade of product development and sophistication than Benelli.
Benelli shotguns may be expensive to some extend, but they are worth the price when it comes to reliability and sturdiness.
If american gun makers want to keep up with the pace the industry is showing around the world, they should invest to make new, reliable, affordable and technologically top of the line products. If they keep living on past glories they will probably fade away like those memories........
Just my 2 cents
