They are in the business of manufacturing and selling guns, period.
At least its an American made product.

ruger.
The ruger american looks pretty nice.
As for remington. Tough for me. Lots of my neighbors work at the factory.
Its a shame they are putting out lesser quality stuff.

I was debating between the Rem 700 and a Savage as well. Looks like I just made my decision.

I was a devout Remington addict until I saw the Remington 700 rifle fiasco on gun unfriendly msnbc std. But with this they'll never get another dime of my money as will S&W and Ruger.

I will take a Mossberg 590A1 20" ported barrel Blackwater edition and a Geelock Gen4 22.

I will never purchase another rem product. F'n sellouts
Maybe a nice Rossi 92Cross 'em off my list too - I was thinking about Marlin as a lever-action rifle to look at to go with my .357 revolver, but they just lost that sale.

Really people? Ruger and Mossberg haven't jumped to leave Connecticut, not mention Les Baer and Springfield Armory are in Illinois y'all ain't boycotting them for staying there. At least Remington is headquartered in a red state. The 870 and the 700 are in the same category of American classics as the 1911.
As was already stated in this thread, it's a FEDERAL CONTRACT. They are NOT in deals with NY state. Also the NY factory is only a fraction of their production. They are trying to keep the Army Individual Carbine competition alive. Their ACR is one of the front runners in the competition and winning could yield one of the biggest contracts in recent history. No doubt this is an arse kissing move to keep in on the feds good side.

You can't blame them for not moving, it is hard to move a factory and it is hard on their employees, and the institutional memory and skills of many of their senior workers would be left behind. They are in business to sell guns, and the regime is the biggest customer around.
Darn! I wanted a 700. Guess the bolt gun goes to the back of the line.

I never say never. It would be nice if all of the big manufacturers could give the socialist states the finger and move to a truly free state, but reality is it's not really feasible or might be darn near impossible for some factories. If they won't sell to the governments of the states they live in, that's something.
Right now, I'm spending on the stuff I want and might not be able to get in Oct if SB281 stands. Well, I would be if I ever get my MDC approved.

This.
Big picture folks. If they had just signed a big deal with NYPD or were moving additional factories to the state to accommodate them, that would be one thing. This is a Federal contract and could very well end up putting lots of shiny new modern semi-autos on the market that happen to not be on the Maryland banned list.
Give them seem credit for smart business, but keep an eye on them for deals with New York state, city, or county contracts. Maybe apply some pressure to move their factory out of New York. But I think that an outright Remington boycott is premature.

The part that rubbed me wrong was they were investing $20 million in NY to expand. Not the fact they are doing a federal contract in NY. Is it petty? Most likely.
