Remington issues

The AR clones seem to be doing well, maybe they should dump a large portion of their "hunting" line and come up with a high grade AK to complement the AR's and use the saved money to expand ammo production.

I like that idea.

Remington's troubles are structural. The hunting market is shrinking in proportion to losses of places to hunt. This trend isn't going to be reversed as population population growth increases and suburban sprawl is allowed to continue. (I'm typing from a house in a subdivision where I used to go quail hunting here So.Fl., and it was only 25 years ago). Likewise, most casual hunters only need one deer rifle and maybe two shot guns, and the damn things never wear out. Coming up with new whizbang calibers to sell guns will only get you so far. The ammo side of things seems to be their only dependable source of revenue in the future unless they can come up with some great new design that will revolutionize rifles the way Glock and Ruger did with pistols.
