would you buy a remington right now?

[andre66]

With the sale of remington and the uncertainty of what is going to happen with the company, do you feel comfortable buying one of their products? I am trying to decide between a browning bps and a remington wingmaster and am leaning towards the wingmaster but with the change of ownership i am unsure about the future of the company.

What does the future of the company have to do with the quality of their guns? You only need one, it'll last you 100 years if you take care of it. Buy away!

(says the guy with a safe full of model 70s...)

+1.
Even if the worst should happen, there are tons of 870's and parts in this country.

It's not the first ownership change that Remington has gone through and they are still here.

Andre, the Remington's look like s___t, however they work, what is more they are somewhat like Harley's, everybody makes parts or has parts.

PS; Both of my work rifles are Remington's and I cannot fault either.

The recent ownership change has not changed my opinion of Remington, or their firearms. I still don't particularly like or dislike them. I'm still apathetic, and don't care

 

[dupa]

Buy the Browning, just my 2 cents.

In a pump? Buy the Rem. - dan

 

[cereal83]

Remington all the way!

 

[todbartell]

at the price they go for this year, you dont get as much value as you did last year, I wont be buying any this year

 

[dumbdawg]

until i hear something bad about their product i have no worry about buying them

 

[SignGuy]

buy a savage then you wont need to worry about parts

 

[uphere]

i don't think savage makes a pump shotgun, if you buy an 870 you wont need parts

 

[Calum]

If you buy a Norinco version you will have lots of money left over for ammo and goodies.

 

[John Y Cannuck]

Bartell has several, doesn't that tell you they're no good?

 

[X-man]

Seems to be a non-issue for me. Go buy the Wingmaster!

 

[FN]

Remington quality has been slipping for years.

Remington quality has been slipping for years.

I just got a newer/used CDL and am pleased with the gun overall. The SPSs have a lower finish, but have functioned just as well as the older ones I own.

I have no problem with buying Remington, as far as quality, I think they are hard to beat for the price.
IMHO.

 

[BWANA]

I've had both.
They are both great guns.
The Wingmaster is lighter and what I kept.
Don't worry about ownership change,it'll outlast you !
