My stance is that I'm for whoever makes a product that I need or want and can make it for a price that I'm willing to pay. The cheaper the better. If you're gonna charge more for your product than the other buy, you'd better be able to convince me to pay your price.

And by the way, I have a Remington 710 and like it just fine, thank you very much. I'd rather spend my money on things other than purty wood and shiny metal.
