Could this be the beginning of the end for Remington - it's going to cost billions and take years depending upon take-up.

They were doomed ever since they stopped producing the Rolling Block, the best rifle they ever made.

Yip...1962 onwards - the original Walker design...

VERY suspicious, as the Walker is what the Marine Corps have issued since 1966 when they adopted the 700 as the M40...

"Settlement", "court", "federal judge", sounds like someone sued Remington and this is their "penalty"...
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
