I find it interesting that I have never seen a Remington 1894 or 1900 in a gunshop around here in all the years I have been visiting them. Lots of Parkers, Smiths, Fox Sterlingworhs, but never a Remington. I never realized this before now! I wonder why that is? I have always heard the Remingtons were sturdy guns, but never had one in my hands and therefore never owned one. Oh-boy, that sounds like an excuse!
