Saw this story recently and I'm pretty sure I haven't seen anything here about it, so thought I'd put it up for discussion. Long story short, Vista Outdoors is the parent company for several well-known firearms/ammunition/accessory companies, such as Savage Arms, Stevens, Federal Premium Ammunition, CCI, Bushnell, etc. Due to rising social media pressure, Vista Outdoors is considering selling off or even just dissolving Savage and Stevens Arms. At this time they are hoping that other companies will buy these two companies from them. Beyond the immediate parameters of the story and how this may affect the companies Outdoor Vista may divest itself of, I find this whole thing very frustrating. My question I guess is besides just refusing to do business with REI, et al, what, if anything, can we do to push back at this kind of pressure? I am posting a link to an Outdoor Life story, as it seems to be the least politically biased of the stories I've seen so far, but there are dozens of them out there on the interwebs.
