[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1515321, member: 12995"] Unfortunately, Remington is ran by a board of rich old Fudds, who are only interested in keeping their profit margins exactly like they are...Instead of upgrading their tooling and twist rates, and making MORE money, because they would be changing with the times, and making guns people actually want. LRH and LRS has become VERY popular in the last 10 year, and has skyrocketed in the last 5 years. Therefore heavy high-BC bullets are now the norm. And you have to have modern twist rates than those that were being used 50 years ago...And even more than those being used just 10 years ago. And while majority of gun purchasers are hunters, and buy factory ammo, a huge chunk of the market that Remington could be getting in on, would be the LRH and LRS market if they would just upgrade their designs and rifles a little bit and stop going up on the **** prices so much. Their design team, design engineers, and marketing team SUCKS. I would rather see Remington upgrade ALL of their rifles to the hammer-forged 5R rifling, and modern twists, in EVERY model. That would completely revamp their image, and would boost sales like they have never seen before. If they would swap all .223 Rem rifles over to a 5R 1:7 twist barrel, and thread it, they would sell. If they would build a short-action tactical 5R rifle with a 20" 1:8 twist 6.5 Grendel, that would also sell. I've got tons of ideas, but they're gonna have to pay me to get them. :D Hey Remington, you listening? I'll do it, but you got to pay me son! [/QUOTE]
