I think you are missing my point.
I never said there was anything wrong with remington. I was just using them as an example of a manufacturer.
Here is a hypothetical example for you.When large retailers drastically roll back prices on a product like the 710 for instance, consumers soon realize this and before you know it Walmart is selling more 710's than all the ma and pa shops combined and sales explode for remington. Once walmart has a stranglehold on remingtons sales they can go back to remington and tell them what price they want to pay for the 710, and if they don't get it for that price they won't carry it in the stores. Now remington has to find a way to produce the guns for a lower price and still make a profit because now without walmart they have no sales. The only way they can cut the cost of production is by producing them in china and pay workers around $.40 an hour. and close the plant currently located in ohio.

I'm not saying that this is going to happen but it already has with many other manufacturing companies thanks to cost cutting empires like walmart and that is a fact...
