I'm squarely in the LOVE THEM category!

I have a couple of nice Mohawk Brown models and an Apache Black and chrome that is pre-serial number in mint condition. There's many variations and others like the 10, 11, 76, etc. ALL are great guns in my opinion.

As light and accurate as they are your 10 year old can pack one all day long thru the woods squirrel or rabbit hunting and never get winded.

I used to have an XP100 also sporting that DuPont Zytel stock; and still own the bolt action Nylon 11 with scarce 24 inch barrel. Now THAT one is a super tack driver too.

It's fun when folks whine about their favorite gun manufacturer cutting costs and switching to a "plastic" trigger guard or trigger or other part. They warn that quality is suffering and things won't last like they used to. You can remind them that 60 years ago these Remington "plastic" rifles had that same "junky" reputation and seem to have faired pretty well.
