[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 643102, member: 41338"] Nothing wrong with tricking one out and if that's your plan from the get go, then buying one for aftermarket support makes sense. I'd venture to guess that many or most people are more than willing to shoot it and if it shoots, to leave it alone. Remington's been around for a long time and has plenty of market share. There's no good reason why they're not in the front seat as far as performance and quality goes. Profitability expectations from the parent company (Freedom Group) no doubt plays a huge role in how profits are spent or simply taken. It's common enough to bleed off the profits from a successful company to support lesser acquisitions. It could be the work force has just had the pride beaten out of them Who knows? All I know is that you can go into a gun store and point in almost any direction and pick up a rifle that is attempting to improve their reputation for accuracy and reliability. It reminds me of the U.S. Postal Service. They used to do "Overnight Mail" until one day they finally had to admit they just weren't any good at quick calling it "Overnight" and started calling it "Priority Mail". The Remington Company is adrift while their competitors are focused upon manufacturing products their Customers are asking for. They're fine for the bones for a build but sometimes you just want to spend your money and be satisfied with your purchase. I didn't leave Remington, they left me. [/QUOTE]
