Sounds like a Who's Who" list of America's gunmakers
* Remington- introducing cartridges or guns people like, then dropping them (5mm RM, BR cartridges, 280 Rem/7mm Express, any SAUM, 8mm Rem Mag, etc, etc). Or introducing totally nonsensical rifles and continue trying to market them in spite of negative feedback (Model 600 in 6.5 Rem Mag or 350 Rem Mag, to 660, to Model 7, to 935, etc). I never met anyone who wanted a rifle with 4,000 ft/lbs energy in a 6 lbs rifle.
* Winchester- drop the winners and introduce something new and amazingly mediocre (pre- to post-64 models, Model 12 to 1200/1300, 94 to 94AE, 220 Swift to 225 Win) or introduce a new cartridge that could easily flog the competition and not offer it in the best rifles (284 Win, basically a 7mm mag without the belt, only offered in the 88/100).
* Marlin with all the iterations of the Model 60/75. And dropping the popular models of the 336 and 1894. And dropping one model of bolt action rifle after another. And auto-loading rifles. And shotguns.
* Ruger for not fixing the accuracy issues with the Mini-14 and continuing to make a rifle you couldn't hit anything with. And for not actually following through with the 308 version (XGI). And for not making the 77/ series in 45 Win Mag or 10mm. And introducing cool new guns then disappearing them (44 Carbine, Hawkeye pistol, for example). And introducing awful new guns and then re-introducing them under a new name (P85/P90/P95/345, etc)
* Springfield Armory for claiming to be "America's Oldest Gunmaker" (as if we didn't know it's a different company) and selling only guns made in foreign countries (Yay! Brazilian 1911s!). And the "BIG announcements" that are totally anti-climactic (The New Saint! A totally new concept! Yeah, sure, except it's a Bravo Company AR. A base model one at that).
* And the grand prize- Smith and Wesson. Can you say MIM? Nuff said!
And the list goes on and on.
