From the blog http://www.waronguns.blogspot.com/ Looks like David Codrea is getting some of the industry to respond to the outrageous and insensitive association of HS with L Horiuchi. The following from Codrea posted this evening:

Statement from Remington on HS-Precision
From AR15.com:

To get this thread back on topic - update from Tommy Millner at Remington:

Because its thanksgiving and everyone is off, we have not made contact with HS. We have taken any reference to HS from our web site..

When you first emailed me I honestly did not recall horiuchi's name so you caught me unawares. I also do not read the blogs so the fact there was an issue came as a surpise.

In any event, HS makes a great product and we are a large customer of theirs. Why they would pick a super controversial spokesperson is beyond me. Doing this violates pure business common sense. Early next week we will use whatever persuasive powers at our disposal to get HS to do the right thing..

Do me a favor and tell those on the bolgs that Remington and I are now fully aware of the issue, in full agreement with the outrage, and will do what we can t exert pressure on HS to reverse course.

Thanks

Tommy

Lon Horiuchi is:

a) A respected law-enforcement tactical marksman
b) An expert on rifles and rifle usage, whose opinion should be respected
c) A guy who shot an unarmed woman while she was holding her baby and claimed he was ‘just following orders’

By the way, McMillan makes stocks.
