RE: WHAT IS HAPPENING TO REMINGTON?
Killer 243. You are right on there. When you buy a ruger rifle you better be thinking of addind 60.130.00 into a trigger job or a new trigger. The last three Ruger rifles that I have picked up wre basically un-shootable without trigger work. I have found a Good smith that does the trigger for about 40-60 dollars and can make them decent. It unexcusable to put out a product that has to go to the shop on the way home. I love the sturdy build and overall quality other than the trigger.
So far I have seen no real problems with Remington products. My new Remingtons seem to shoot and handle about like the older ones.
