I have Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70, stainless model. It has the Remington stamp on the barrel so I really expected it to give me trouble. So far, few years and few hundred rounds later, it seems to be pretty solid. I bought 870 last year and it too seems to work well, I’ve not noticed anything subpar on it either.
That said, there does appear to be a sizable echo chamber on the net outlining the quality drop. That’s a shame, Remington is part of America’s history, but, it seems that unless something drastically changes they are adios amigos.

Remington faces default
Progs are definitely better for gun business...
“Remington Outdoor, the second-largest U.S. gunmaker has suffered a “rapid” and “sharp” deterioration in sales and a similar drop in profits since January, and faces “continued softness in consumer demand for firearms,” credit analysts at Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings said in a report Friday.
S&P as a result has cut the company’s corporate credit rating — already at a junk-bond-level CCC+ — two full notches, to CCC-, a move likely to make the company’s high-yield debt less attractive to investors and lenders, and force Remington to pay more in interest. The company could face a change in control, bankruptcy, or default on its debt by next year.”
