Another example of poor leadership.
Not much news but here is a link to an article in the Utica paper.

Another example of poor leadership.
This time might finally do them in, though they have pulled it out many times before.

If another mfg where to buy them out lot-stock, who could save the 700 line and start building quality rifles again?
I am hoping that Dakota Arms can be spun off and kept and since they have a lot of the equipment to make 700s, would be the new supplier of them. Will be interesting to see what happens has Remington has wiggled its way out of bankruptcy 4 or 5 times in the past.
Although I kind of hate to say this, once you get yourself a Custom 700 Clone Action, you might not ever go back to a 700 except for a basic hunting rifle. By the time you have a 700 action Blue Printed and a better extractor and recoil lug installed, you can buy one of the custom clones and have a much smoother action.

I doubt anyone will unless the Bankruptcy courts make it attractive enough and I'm not sure that they can remove enough liability to do that. I also think they have to get out of NY state and that may be hard to do. I knew Bob Nardeli would come back to haunt me, again. Just took a little longer this time.

Don’t know who would buy it, I’ve got a buddy who has a Bargara model 14 hunter in .308 that’s modeled after the 700 and it’s a hell of a rifle with a good trigger and accurate right out of the box.
They have already moved most everything out of New York. Bought the company in the Carolina's and Dakota Arms.
