Remington sold out gun owners, and can reap what they have sewn. Their inaction after Sandy Hook is why I bought a Savage. Besides, their ammo sucks. The last Remington I liked was my 511 scoremaster .22 bolt

Frankly the gun companiesies that genuflected after Sandy Hook are the traitors.

I am not concerned about Rem. Every company will have its problems. It is how they deal with them.

LOL Pineappleshooter, (Cone of Fire) now that there is funny and unfortunately pretty close to reality about how it works in the gun magazine world....I have never read an article in any gun rag that said, this thing is a total piece of crap and dangerous on both ends and is only slightly better than a rock....They always suger coat it and make whatever they are testing look like the best thing since brown suger and even the notoriously awful DB9 gets rave reviews ....I also love how they can do a range test on an $89.00 Jennings .25 and make it sound like the most accurate pistol on the planet with sub 2 inch groups at 25yards and 100% reliable with any ammo tried.....

All magazines are like that. Car magazines, camera mags, they're all nothing but paid ads for whatever product it's about. Their job is to make you want a .25 Jennings, or a Chevy Volt.

With car magazines I began to suspect something was fishy when the '71 Chevy Vega was named Motor Trend's "Car of the Year".

When that rag dubbed the 1980 Chevy Citation with the same award, my suspicions were confirmed:

Wow there's a couple models I ain't heard nothing about in a long long spell. Can't remember the last time I saw one on the road, maybe there aren't any left.

Rich kid in school had a brand new Vega, he kept that baby pristine and all shined up too. Weren't a horrible bad car as I recall but not sure it was car of the year material either.

Late 70s-early 80s was a bad time for cars. The competition was probably the Ford Grenada and the AMC Pacer

I think the last decent year for Chevy was 1972.

Its how the Japanese took over the car market here. Don't forget the Maverick and Pinto.

Vega takes on Pinto in the battle of the fireballs

"But even worse than the Pinto, many readers insisted, was the Chevrolet Vega.
This compact, meant to take on imports like the Volkswagen Beetle,
actually won honors as Motor Trend's Car of the Year for 1971.
It sold well.
Then the body started to rust.
The aluminum engine started to warp.
There were engine fires and mounting recalls.
Horrified buyers fled, and General Motors killed the car by the late 1970s."
