Good riddance. Except they won’t die. It will be a reincarnation and more sub par sloppy manufactured junk. It truly breaks my heart as I do believe they have had some really winning designs over the years.... Early model 700 BDL, 760 Game Master, 1100, 870 come to mind....... All tremendous designs albeit the build and manufacture of same has been sloppy at best and has deteriorated over time.

My first 700 circa 1984 had lovely cut checkering and a weld splatter on the jeweled bolt. The brass cross pins were roughly peened over and not nicely finished with the varnish finish blemished over the pins. The gun shot 3/4 MOA with federal premium ammo though. Fast forward to a recent 700 LTR..... the scope base holes were not drilled in a straight line and wandered in a kind of diagonal direction to the bore axis. Next up a newer 7600 Police pump.... the bolt face was incorrectly machined and wouldn’t hold the extractor clip in place and would NOT extract empties....... Contrast back to my old 1100 circa 1973 which was ok from a fit and finish perspective albeit obviously a product of a high volume assembly line yet ran like a well tuned watch.....

Now I buy Sako if I want a gun off the shelf. They shoot like a dream and they are all well put together.... Indeed, the el cheapo Remingtons save for a late 60s 760 game master no longer pollute my safe. Pity on the build quality because I truly believe the underlying designs are quite good. Geared toward high volume mass production granted but that is no reason to cheap out on the upper and lower manufacturing control limits.
