[QUOTE="jake545, post: 2724413, member: 125700"] They had a good reputation for years then quality fell off drastically and it didn't take long at all after that. The rounds not being supported has a lot of factors, each being a little different. 280 was a mistake where they named it a 7mm-06 but folks had already wildcatted that round and Remington pushed the shoulder out so it wasn't the same as the round with the name already. Then they went thru 2 name changes for it and really dropped the marketing. The 6.8 they (PTG or Remington) screwed up the reamer print and had high pressure due to 90 degree leads, but never fixed it in a rush to get it to military. The spec2 chamber is closer5 to the original design (not saami spec) and works just fine but Remington wouldn't correct it. Those were not why it went bankrupt but were signs of mismanagement. The quality control is what got them in the end when they cut corners. Shotguns rusting the first day they were taken out of the box, fit and finish on rifles that was terrible and handguns that functioned 50% of the time will kill pretty much any company. [/QUOTE]
