Remington's 2008 available for download

I know this could easily turn into a 'bashing' thread, so I will try to keep it low key in saying that I'm just very disappointed that they seem to be contented to just sit on their laurels. I guess they figured that the 105 CTi was their big innovative contribution for the 21st century, oh and the dress up last year of the 1100 to the G3 version. I do think the G3 is a beautiful shotgun and a reasonable value considering the included hard case, but I find it hard to plunk down cash for a heavy gun with an old operating system. Sure it's a proven design, but why not build a lighter, more mechanically streamlined (no O rings) version. Make some significant improvements without jacking the price up another $200 bucks. They need to give us a reason to buy their guns rather than a reason to look elsewhere IMHO.

Remember to keep it friendly on this thread... :roll:

I was impressed to see that some of the guns still supported wood stocks, and the Wingmasters and 700 CDL's are still looking sharp 8)

Yeah, they still make the stuff I want or might want; Wingmaster, 870 Classic Trap, all the 1100 Target Grades. I like the 1100G3's I have handled and the fit and finish on those I have examined was very good.

My 1100 Classic Trap with its standard bore will smoke a trap target at any yardage on the trap field. It's outdated operating system is still the best shooting action I have found for comfortable shooting in 200+ target days, it has 10,000 rounds on the original O ring with no sign of replacement required.

Sounds like the 105 still needs some work, I have examined them closely and have no interest in them, even if they had nothing but flawless operating reports.

Not interested in the re-branded offshore stuff.

New and improoved every year is nice but I have been in the position several times with other companies where the gun I bought and paid a good dollar for was obsolete and hard to get parts for within five years.
