Pretty much. To be honest the only firearms they had that were good was the 700 and 870 pump. The pump is still pretty good but the newer 700 is mediocre at best. There are plenty of bolt guns that’ll outshine the 700 today. Ruger Precision Rifle (RPR), Savage M10, Tikka 3, ect.... and for me, I pr fee the Moss 500/590 over the 870. So, Rem has nothing I can’t live without. I believe the screwed up Para Ordanance as well when they bought hem out.
