I think 500N was joking.
There are no more elitist oddball cartridges than the two-barrel Brit stuff to-be-sure.
I do not own a single Remington of any breed or species.
As for Dakota, maybe the financial angle is correct, or maybe Remington sees a future in building a rifle with a "Win-70"-type action to compete with the Fabrique Confederate Winchesters?
As good as Remingtons are, they are and always have been bashed by many members of the Dangerous Game Club. Maybe Remington wants their own DG line...?
Of course, IMO they had one, the Model 30. They should drag out their old tooling from the company museum and dust it off and get cracking. I owned a very nice 30 in .30-06 a few years ago and in a decidedly un-sober moment sold it. GREAT action, great design, great safety, the works, a great rifle. A new CNC-built "30" would be an affordable peach!!
Didn't Remington already try this recently with the Mausers they were selling? Anyway, from my understanding Dakota isn't healthy enough for them to saddle them with debt and flip them.
