I think that the best selling pump shotgun ever is a good place to start for them. Just make those until they get going again.
Savage came back in the 1980s by only making the 110 bolt action for a while.

I got 3 870 pumps. So used to them I don't dare try any other.
Interesting, no MSRP’s
And in my opinion, the best pump shotgun made was the Ithaca 37. Own 11 one time

Yea weird that no prices even when going the buy now route on the handguns.
My thoughts also. To me, "870" is "THE shotgun." I have had several over the years, and I have 3 different barrels for the one I own now.
The 700 bolt action is also my go to rifle in many calibers. I have the tools to easily work on stripping the bolt/firing pin/ ejectors etc.
Both the 870 and the 700 are simple to work on, few parts, and I am just totally familiar and confident with them.
These two firearms are my "mainstays" .

Good to see this news, always been a fan of the 870s .
John Boy, I agree that the Ithaca 37( and its predecessor the Remington model 17) are the best pumps. Better than any Winchester, Mossberg, Hi Standard, or Savage. And I have owned and used all of those. But, the 870 is the world standard for pump shotguns and its sales numbers reflect that. We only have 3 pump shotguns here; a Remington 17 and two 870s. I can't imagine keeping house without them.

I think the basic Mossberg Model 500 and its variations have overtaken the best selling label from the Remington Model 870. With that said, I like the 870 a lot more than the 500, I think at the very least it will last longer without needing an armorer/ gunsmith.
The Ithaca is also a very good shotgun, I just don't have a lot of hands on experience with it.

Glad to see that they are apparently dropping the lines that were embarrassing or irrelevant, i.e. the camo AR's, RP9, and R51.
Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.
Thank God the Wingmaster still makes the cut.

I own 5 870's and agree that they are great shotguns.
They are still showing the RP9 and the R51. The AR line went to a different owner.

I'm not putting much stock in the current website. It looks like the new owners stuck it up without bothering to do much editing.

Am I missing something, I am not seeing any model 760's on there, a lot of people here in Pa will not be happy.

One more reason to not take the new Remarms.com website seriously: The hunter in the upland game photo is carrying an over-under shotgun. That is either just a lazy mistake, or one heck of an Easter Egg.

I have two 870s and 3 M10 Rems (predecessor to the m17). The 870 and mossberg 500s are probably the choice of most law enforcement. The m37 is not so popular probably because of the bottom load and ejection which make it slower to keep loading and shooting after it has been run dry.
Maybe Rem is going to make the 3100 OU again.
