Is it just me or does Remington's new web site set up REALLY SUCK???

[NYH1]

I can't seem to be able to look up ammo ballistic without signing up and joining their site.   Is there another way to view them?   I don't really want to join their site just to look up their products.     

[Ultra25-06]

agreed

[NYH1]

One thing I did notice is that when I looked up centerfire rifles by caliber, there was an "*" next to half their rifles.   The "*" indicates the model is discontinued.   

[john keyes]

good topic.....I was trying to find the ballistics on christmas day and gave up..

so thats it, you have to register now?  warning...incoming...SPAM.

[Graybeard]

No you don't have to register. I didn't when I visited it the other day. I will say however it has to be the worst site I've ever seen a business put up to date. It will clearly run off traffic and that likely will reduce sales. Not that I'm likely to be buying any rifles soon as funds just aren't there but mostly I found or investigated my purchases of their guns online first before buying. I sure won't be doing that with the current site set up.

[john keyes]

I predict soon remington won't even be making any guns, just importing from Russia

[Graybeard]

Based on WHAT? They currently import NOTHING from Russia.

[john keyes]

I thought the 798, 799,  a single shot and a bunch of shotguns and stuff came from Russia

[Graybeard]

Ya kinda thought wrong then. Besides none of those are currently being imported by Remington that's all history. They did for a very short while import some of the Baikal line.

[NYH1]

No you don't have to register. I didn't when I visited it the other day.

Do you have a link?   Every time I try to compare or look up ballistics it puts up a registration page.   I can look at firearms with no trouble at all.   Ammo, it wants me to register.

[NYH1]

Where are their over and under shotguns made?   Weren't they imported from Russia too?

[sniperVLS]

I removed the cookie for the website and sure enough it asked me to login/register to see ammo info. I don't know if I'd bother registering if I wasn't already(registered years ago just to get quick access to their monthly firearm giveaways and such). Maybe I got tired of the original site cuz I kinda like the new layout. Maybe after I spend more time there I might get annoyed by it  Time will tell........

[hunt-m-up]

I was just in there trying to compare LOP on two guns and it wanted me to register and jump through the marketing hoop with my info. I've completed the forms before on other sites, but not to simply look at products they would like to SELL ME.
No thanks

[NYH1]

I was already signed up for their "Country Store".   I signed up for that a while back (years ago, I beleave).   I entered that info into their web site and it took it.   I still don't like the idea of having to "sign up" just to get product info.   As I said before, their new web site sucks.

Now if they would only start producing a rifle that would appeal to me...(this might get out of control)

- Wider variety of calibers in each line
- Heavier varmint contour barrels
- Faster twist rates on calibers that are used more for shooting long range (223, 243, 260, 7mm's etc..)
- Start working with different stock makers for certain stocks, and raise the d@mn comb
- Aluminum bedding blocks for wood stocks, and even the plactic tupperware ones
- At least a wider trigger shoe if you can't go back to the old trigger
- Stop paying off Swampman to come on here and harass non-Remington owners

That being said I sure don't see myself buying anything else for a while. 

[diggler1833]

Oh yeah...the website sucks...down with the website.














Sorry, just didn't want to throw the thread off topic.

Well Diggler, super, awesome, great minds, must think alike because some of the above are exactly the things that I'd like to see from Remington. Jeez, why can't I get a damn 6.5 X 55 SE with a varmint barrel from at least one company out there, short of having to go to Finland and buy one. I know, I know, I could have one custom built...

And Why??? oh Why??? can't I buy a Remington in .223 that has a 1 in 7 twist (even a 1 in 9), and that also comes with a stock that I like? I know, I could have one custom built...

As far as Swamper goes, it ain't going to happen. He has a life-time contract, and he ain't about to let Remington out of it.

Yep -- The new Remington website is really bad.   Maybe it is those high school student interns working their Christmas vacation that designed it. I hope they change it soon, and start offering some of the nice guns they had 5 or 10 years ago.  I bought a couple of their Sendero and LSS models a few years ago, but some of the new models look like junk --- especially the cheap looking checkering new wood stocks.  I loved Remington a few years ago -- but they discontinued the nicer guns, and raised the price on the ugly ones.   And the website is horrid.  RP

[jlchucker]

Really bad!

[Graybeard]

So how many of you have picked up the phone and complained? If they get enough negative comments about it they might fix it.

[Jerry J]

I didn't get on the phone but I did e-mail their customer support. I got a response about a week later telling me to change my browser settings (for some reason the page didn't completely show up). You can't find specs on the rifles like you used to on the old site. Then you get the multiple view windows. Sure wish they would come up with something better. I loved their old site.   Jerry J

Overview:
Perfect for deer hunters wanting rifle-like performance in an affordable, yet dependable, shotgun package, the Model 870 Express Slug Gun utilizes fully rifled, heavy contour barrels to deliver devastating knockdown power with optimal accuracy.
Available in both a 12-gauge and 20-gauge version, the added weight of the heavier slug barrel helps reduce the recoil of magnum slug loads while our cantilever system provides a solid scope mount platform that won't lose its zero like other mounts. These pump-action shotguns feature a non-glare matte finish on all exterior metalwork and all-weather black synthetic stocks and fore-ends.
Key Features:
Receiver milled from a solid billet of steel for strength and durability
Twin action bars ensure smooth, reliable non-binding action
Legendary pointability and accuracy.

I didn't have to sign up to get this information.
