Remington values since bankruptcy

So far I haven't seen any real change. The stock dealers have isn't going to drop in price, plus dealers still have rifles on the shelves and their reputation was hurt pretty bad by the trigger recall so the used ones aren't demanding a premium yet.
 
Roundhill LLC will be making Remington 700's and 870's again, probably in a year or so I bet. Unlike Ruger and the Marlins, Roundhill bought the Ilion, NY factory so nothing needs to be moved.
 
Those that like the design and its limitations will continue to buy them. Those that have moved onto upgraded clones or different brands during their QC issues probably won't look back.

You mean the collectable Pre 20s. They are gonna put the pre 64s to shame.

You quack me up. I'm an advanced 700 collector. Now into the rare Sporstman 78 line with one-of-a-kind stocks. <grin>

As usual, some optimists are trying for jacked up prices on NIB 870s, even 870 Express.
It is not at all clear that Remington will rise again.
 
Not clear at all that they will return, but Roundhill literally got it for peanuts ($13M) and none of the debt. Remington had over $450M in sales last year, it was the debt that crippled them. Now that the side stuff is gone, they can focus on being a firearms manufacturer. Here's hoping anyway!

Remington hasn't been ahead of the curve since they brought out the Rolling Block.

You haven't heard of the 870 Wingmaster? As much trash they have been thumped over the past fifteen years, Remington has designed some fantastic arms... simplicity in models like the Wingmaster have made decent arms more affordable. Yes, we can wish for more machined parts but if it works and works well the vast majority of consumers will flock: there are higher end options (or upgrades) for those who prefer a more bespoke product. But passing judgement on Remington because of the crap imposed by the accountants and fake capitalists there only as saprophytes is not fair.

I hope the new ownership and management considers the developments that originally put Remington on the map and resume that trend... hopefully at some point this will enable proper R&D.
 
Yes, I've heard of the 870 Wingmaster, I quite like the 870, but prefer the Ithaca 37, though that is really a Ford vs Chevy argument. It cannot be argued that there were not excellent pump shotguns on the market decades before the 870.

I've got a soft spot for the old pumps 14 and 141.
 
Remington has built some of the greatest firearms of all time. Let’s hope the new owners revitalize the company and get it back to where it once was.
