AJ Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Now that the SHOT Show is over, the manufacturers start bringing the new stuff out to the public. Remington has a few new entries as they released their 105CTi semi auto shotgun it has a Titanium and carbon fiber receiver, making it lightweight and strong. Remington is also unveiling a new line of o/u shotguns called the Premier Over & Under. These guns are made in Italy, come in 3 types or grades, and are available in 12, 20, and 28 gauge. Yet another entry to the semi auto market is the SPR453 budget line 3.5" semi auto shotgun. Rem also has a line of tactical shotguns for 2006. And finally Remington is going to sell a new line of double guns called the Parker. Its not supposed to be a remake or a replica, but a new gun. Its supposed to have its web site up in March. Remington seems to importing more and more from Europe. They seem to be going from one extreme to the other with low end budget or high end offerings. I don't know if this is a sign of the future or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xen Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Re: Remington changes for 2006 hmm, SPR = Spartan, which i'm pretty sure are made by E.A.A. and yeah, those look and feel really inexpensive, not sure how they hold up. I like the look of their autoloader for something cheap to take out into the field, but Verona makes something similar for $250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archerjg Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Re: Remington changes for 2006 Are the semi autos supposed to replace the 1100 and 1187 or are they just higher end and lower end versions. The 150tci did look bery nice. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: Remington changes for 2006 I like the the Premier over & under. Great looking shotgun. My choice would be the 28 gauge with the 26" barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: Remington changes for 2006 Will this finally be the time Remington gets the O/U design right? LOL How many times have they tried? 3----4?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL How many times have they tried? 3----4?????? [/ QUOTE ] Since its being imported from Italy, made by gun makers that know how to make o/u guns, I would say its going to be better than their previous offerings. They had it right but they could not make a profit at it. The Remington Model 32 (1932-1944) was a great gun. Rem discontinued it and Krieghoff bought it in the 50's. They made it for a long while and made a few changes and came out with the K-80, which is a very popular clays shotgun today. New K-32 guns start at $6500 for the action and forend iron (this does not include stocks). The Remington 3200 (1973-1984) was a great o/u that is still popular with todays shooters. I have a pair of them myself. The long gap to the Peerless (1993-1999) and the 396 (1996-1999) was wasted, as the guns were not that popular, as was the 300 Ideal (2000-2001) and finally the Model 332. Funny the 332 went back to the 32's looks but not the interior of the action. You can still find very good used guns from the Model 32 and 3200 line. Lets see how many of the newer guns are still hammering birds (clay or feathered) in 20-50 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Re: Remington changes for 2006 I think that is a very nice new line of guns for Rem. This is what they need for a few years. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonhunter Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Re: Remington changes for 2006 I know this is a bit of an old post, but i wanted to throw something in here. The new SxS that Remington has in mind must be a real peach. The March/April 2006 SHOOTING SPORTSMAN says the gun will be made by Connecticut Shotgun Mfg. Co. who also make the Ithaca Classic Double. Remington, who is taking orders with a 50% deposit untill the first years capacity for production is reached ( planned at 10-12 guns is r) the total cost for your "new" Parker? a pocket change amount of $49,000. I think you can get a "real" Parker Trojen in a gun room for a third of that. I might be wrong though. Looking forward to seeing this one in my local gun shop (Ya Right!!!)

AJ Posted March 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Re: Remington changes for 2006 I hear you carbonhunter, but I doubt that Remington will have a hard time selling 10 - 12 of those guns. If you looked at the picture of the guns and saw the level of engraving, checkering, the grain of the stock, and the hand fitting that is going into those guns, that is what it costs. There are those that enjoy "the finer things in life" and they are the ones these guns are marketed towards. Prices for high end double guns are steep. A standard grade trap combo (o/u and unsingle) costs $12,000 nowdays. That is without the upgraded wood, any engraving, or upgraded checkering. If you go to a big trap shoot, you will see hundreds if not thousands of these guns in use by competitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] agree 100% lwhen you look at the guns that CSM has come out with in the last couple of years and compair them i think the money is right where it should be. When I saw your post I was kinda thinking it would be a gun to compete with the Ruger Gold Label. All in all though it looks like it will be a first rate double (the pictues where beautiful!!!), made here on home soil. Id rather see my money go to a nice little company like that then send it out Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missed160 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Re: Remington changes for 2006 Question for ya AJ.. I have been waiting for the 105, semiauot to come out, any ideas when it'll start showing up in stores, and any idea of the price range? Also, for the Premier OU- Will that fit into the top end ($1000+) guns, or will it fall into that liddle ground with the Verona? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Re: Remington changes for 2006 I have no idea when it will be available. I would expect it to be in the $1000-$1100 range. The MSRP is $1,332. The Premier is in the middle ground range. Price will be comparable to the Browning and Beretta. The MSRP is from $1840-$2240, depending on the model. I view o/u guns as: junk range is under $500 (I would not waste my $ on them) low is $750-$1000 (will withstand hunting and some clay use) mid is $1,200-$3,500 (minimum for a competition gun) high end is $5,000 and up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
