Remington Firearms announced Monday that it will invest $100 million in a factory and research operations in Georgia, the Associated Press reported. Remington's headquarters will be moved from New York to LaGrange, Georgia, which is southwest of Atlanta. The country's oldest gun maker is one of many corporations to leave the Northeast in favor of the politically gun-welcoming South. "We are very excited to come to Georgia, a state that not only welcomes business but enthusiastically supports and welcomes companies in the firearms industry," Remington CEO Ken D'Arcy said in a statement. D'Arcy said he plans to create over 850

Good for them. They (and other gun companies) started in great American states but over time they became communist bloc countries, hostile to anything involving freedom. I'm glad they have the resources to escape.
I own several Remingtons and they are all good guns. Even found a Tac-14 for a pre-corona price a while back. Painful to shoot but very portable. Still would like to get a full size 870 one of these days.

After the way things went down in Huntsville, AL with Remington, Georgia better have contracts in place to recover the tax abatements if things go bad. I the state of Alabama ended up settling for about $12 million towards the tax abatements when Remington filed bankruptcy, but I don't think that covered the whole bill.

This is LONG overdue. Remington should have left New York 30 years ago. It would have saved them millions, and a lot of trouble.
Nicer people, no snow days, better food, newer workplaces - what’s not to like?

How could they leave New Yawk? Don’t they appreciate high taxes and over regulation?

Despite losses in market share and bankruptcy, the Remington name gives the new owner, Roundhill Group, something to build on.

Sadly, they may seriously regret that they didn't even go further south in a few years.
Right now, Georgia has 2 lie-beral Demon-Rat Senators, and were just a breath away from electing a hose beast lie-beral woman as governor not too long ago. The Demon-Rats are slowly mastering election theft in Georgia, and once they do master it and take over state government, gun manufacturers are probably not going to be too welcome. Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma, or Texas, would all have been much better choices in the long term!!!
But, at this point, anywhere is so much better than the Soviet Socialist Republikkk of New York!!!

Remember the plan is to get all the gun makers outta the Blue States & into the Red States.
You all know why.

Yep. Remington has been in Ilion, NY for centuries, literally.
Get away from those who hate you.
If these pukes manage to start another civil war all the arms and munitions factories will be in the Free America Zone.

If you own a Remington 700 in 30.06, the best rifle, dollar for dollar, in the world, you can hunt any big game animal in the world.
If you own a Remington 870 or 100, same deal with small game.
Remington is consistent in good quality.

Stupid Yankees don't remember how the South was defeated. The North had all the arms manufacturing.

Remington when bankrupt recently was sold off. Looks like the new owners are smarter than the old owners.
My bet is that the guns made in Georgia will be great guns. And they will discover the joys of having a work force that loves your products. And likely a very business friendly state,too.

Welcome to America, Remington. You will find a willing workforce and an enthusiastic population of patriots ready to purchase your products.

Good. We need as many of the armaments and weapons manufacturers to relocate to all the red states before the shooting starts so we will have ample supplies of weapons for our troops. Welcome back to the real Republic of the United States of America Remington.

My first big boy gun was a Remington 1100 12 Auto with a ventilated rib! It was my dad’s duck gun! Why did I trade it! I’m an idiot! What a sweet gun!

Have several friends who live in Lagrange, GA and I am so happy that Remington is moving there. The people and food are wonderful.

#7 is exactly right. With the weak Kemp and spineless Rhinos in the legislature that are "hunting" their own, they would have been better off in Texas or another real conservative state. Georgia is not the state it used to be thanks to the weak Republicans.

Smart decision. They should have moved the last time they threatened to. Look for anti-gun by the new commie governor to offer incentives for them to stay. Chuckie too.
