I own eight Remingtons, a 82, 89, and five 94s. Also Parkers and Lefevers and will take the Remingtons over any American made SxS. The high end Parkers are nicer, but for the money you'd have trouble beating the Remington. The action is very simple like a Ithica, not much to break and easy to work on. Most of their guns were made for the working man, not the rich.
