Sadly, it’s not Chinese bolt guns that drove Remingtons reputation into the dirt. Other companies found a way to make affordable guns that work well (Savage, T\C, Howa) unlike Remingtons try, and their flagship offerings fell short of expectations due to beam-counter mentality foisted on them by the buyout (700, 870 express, that lousy R51 pistol, etc.)
In the gun biz; once you lose a solid reputation by going “on the cheap” it takes a long time and a lot of work to earn the trust of shooters back.
Cerebus doesn’t have a long time, nor did they think about how critical shooters are when cost cuts are made that affect the quality of their products (55 years later and we’re still bitching about Winchester’s 1964 decisions!)
Stay safe.
