[QUOTE="Wile E Coyote, post: 553250, member: 28381"] The short answer to this thread is Remington has a manufacturing problem, a QC problem and a customer service problem. Each of these eventually become exposed through customer service and as many of us have experienced, the stuff hits the fan. What we don't know is exactly why they, Remington or many other manufacturers for that matter, cannot take care of their customers properly each and every time. Has most of the old talent retired? Do they rely too heavily on CNC equipment? Have they cut corners to save a buck? Remington is now part of some conglomerate and as such the accountants most likely make the final calls on just about every aspect of the business. The engineers, machinists and mechanics that are there are probably made to feel luckey to have a job. Is this not how most of American manufacturing has gone? From business class 101; a business exists to make the shareholder a profit period. Everything else is secondary if it's important at all. Sadly, this is the mindset in every boardroom today. If one wants to impress the decision makers at a company, one must appeal to their impending loss of a customer [I][B]and the future income [/B][/I]that customer will remove from their future balance sheets. If enough customers let the company executives know they are losing customers because of something that is easily fixed they might someday make the changes needed to turn the company around. That is their job. A great example of this is Savage. Look at where Savage was and where they are now and how they did it. [/QUOTE]
