Modus Operandi for Cerberus in a lot of cases is to buy up a company make it profitable so it is attractive to potential buyers.
Good- company becomes more stable.
Bad- possible job cuts, more outsourcing, potential to have a foreign investor buying the companies as in what happend to S&W a decade ago.

Are their Mauser based rifles, the 798 and 799, junk?

I still cannot believe that they had 250 million + in debt and that the company was only worth 117 million. Unbelievable
), but instead offering new redundant chamberings to try to sell rifles. You can add that their quality certainly hasn't increased int he last 20 years either. If someone today were to ask me to justify buying a remington rifle over a Tikka, Savage, or CZ, I couldn't do it.

Maybe remington branded Dodge trucks with a camoflage paint scheme.
They also bought Chrysler. But, their long term plan with them hasn't really been released.
