I gave up too !!
When they dropped the 22 Hornet along with not producing the new rifles/calibers they said they would I am done.
I am not a big Remington fan in the first place.
I will be shooting my Winchester M-70 22 hornet rather than the NEF and my Winchester M-12 shotgun rather than the Pardner.
I traded both (NEF/Pardner) in at the local gun shop..................gone.
Nice group here................but............."the writing is obviously on the wall now"..........thanks to Big Green............just wait and see
I see these buy outs often in my work.
Best of luck.
just bill
