Remington product safety notice


Recommended Posts

was waiting for an appointment this monring and there sat the Jan 2010 edition of Guns & Ammo. I ran across a notice that read "Do not use Remington 17 HMR ammo in semi auto firearms. Do not use the Remington Model 597 HMR semi auto rifle". Call 1-800-243-9700, prompt #3. Just thought I'd let people know.

Wow, just looked it up on the webpage at Remington.

They are telling folks with the model 592 chambered

for 17HMR to return it for a lousy 200-250 bucks.

My brother in law got a real beauty with a laminate

stock, and added a couple clips and a nice scope.

It was just under 600 bucks!!! He is really ticked....

THey should have had this figured out BEFORE you and

I are risking our skins at the range and field don't

ya think??? I will pass this along over to the varmit

folks too.....

Just to make sure I re-read the article and it does say the 597. However, I donm't know if there is a 592. I did talk to one "smith" who flippantly related that Remington can't seem to keep thier steel from blowin up....or words to that affect. This is not a quote. Remington has fallen from my grace years ago.

What I don't get, is Remington's lack of a

"we will make this right" to all those folks

that put the money down and bought this rifle??

The 10 dollar a box of shells credit and the 200

to 250 dollar rifle credit is a slap in the face.

Where can I buy some 17HMR for ten bucks, much less

a model 592 for 250 or less.

As I said before, we have one in my safe that my

in-law bought. My guess is that it is going to go

into a class action, before it leaves to go back to

the Remington shop!!

I use to think that Remington was one of the better

manafacturers around. I have an older 700 and a XP100

that shoot sub MOA easily, and I have had zero problems.

Lucky for me I guess, considering how well they stand

behind the stuff they make. I am now on a boycott of

further Remington purchases,seeing how they deal the

average Joe a bad hand nowdays.

Even though the number of owners will pale in comparison to other Remington owners, this could have devastating effects on future business. Knowing this now, I for one will not take a chance on this type fleecing.
