I think the Obama years scaring the gun market into a frenzy helped put off the inevitable for Remington. Now that the market has settled down, Remington doesn’t have anything in their catalog that makes me tempted to buy. Seems like others are voting with their wallets for the same verdict.
I don’t wish Remington any ill will, I’m just not seeing anything from them that makes me want to turn loose of my money. I wish they had some nice pieces on the market.
I passed up their RM380 for a Kimber Micro 380. I don’t have any craving for an R51. I was given an R1. I bought a used Para Black Ops that is a much better 1911 (funny that Remington bought Para). I’ve laid out money for some new Rugers and Smiths and I’m saving money while drooling after a few more. Just don’t see anything I want from Remington. Kind of sad really.
