Remington: From New York --> To Huntsville, AL

[DRAGON64]

Big news for Huntsville, AL residents, as Remington plans to purchase an old 500,000 sqft Chrysler building and move their New York mfg group into it. That means a possible 2,000 new jobs to the area... good all around... except for New York. No product output expected before 2015.

They left somewhere they weren't wanted and went somewhere they were wanted, makes perfect sense. Lets hope the quality control goes up as well, love me a 700 action.

My resume is current and ready to go to corporate. Since I live near and already work in Huntsville, I figure I have as good a shot as anyone.

According to most of what I have read, they will be keeping their plant in Ilion, NY. They are expanding, not moving.
