[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2601439, member: 113623"] I am surprised how quickly people are willing to forgive and forget the garbage that has been Remington, and think that RemArms is going to be magically different. CEO being a hunter doesn't really mean anything other than to con the gullible for marketing purposes. I purchased a R700, a 783, and an 870 in the past ten years and and each and every one had problems based on sub par fit and finish, quality control, and simple design flaws. There was more going on at that company than just quality control issues, look at the R51 and RP9 catastrophes as examples. This doesn't mean that RemArms can't or won't produce quality firearms, but I would just recommend extreme caution and skepticism before laying your hard earned money on the table for one. Give them time. Reviews of the new 870's seem to be decent, perhaps not groundbreaking in any way, but there were also reports of old stock still getting shipped out as new product. Even the CEO in the linked interview talks about leaving old parts like the MIM extractors on the production line until they can get around to coming up with a better replacement. [/QUOTE]
