I will say, I had no idea the boycott was so large. I haven't bought anything Remington but didn't know so many people were on board.

I do hope they reconsider moving soon because I kinda want to buy their new rifle.

As a lifelong fan of Remington, I hope they eventually move. I doubt they will until they see their sales bottom out and they will. I am spreading the word to every gun enthusiast I know. I fact I have talked two people out of Remingtons in the store just before they bought them. Not only am I going to cost them my business, I'll do my best to amplify it.

It will make me buy reloading equipment much faster so that I do not have to buy Remington UMC 300BLK ammo. I will do my best to spread the word now that I know others are doing the same.

I've even left info in my patient rooms for them to read while they wait. I'm educating 'em daily.

Ok, time out for a second, tell me again why Kimber is getting a pass on this. Is it because they have not "officially" announced they are staying? Thanks

Y'all keep hating on Remington but I'm glad they are not quitting on 1300 employees. Some people can't afford to up and move just because their company relocates. Anybody wanting to sell Remington's please contact me.


Part of me agrees with you. The other part of me wants people in those states to feel a little pain. They voted for those politicians...and elections have consequences.

I doubt the employees did, but I see where you're coming from.

Red state buyers don't need to support blue state workers that basically told us to go f$%k our selves in the last two elections. I say keep all our money here.

They can move. I refuse to pump money into a company that resides in what I consider and enemy state. Helluva alot cheaper to live here than there.

Tell me again what big government contract Kimber just signed for over 80 million to a state restricting second amendment rights. Kay thanks!




ETA: that's over 16k per rifle. Please tell me that's not a payoff.
