Saw this on the news for the first time this morning while eating breakfast in a hotel. The sound was turned off, but I saw the headlines and almost choked on my coffee. I figured there would be some ongoing discussion here. Very sad. That being said, the Remington 700 has to be one of the most iconic rifles ever. Would be sad to see that some to an end. Sure hope it does not, and sure hope that if someone buys Remington that they bring back a high quality product.
