Vista Outdoors bailing on Savage and Stevens

Just Say Moe

So, It looks like Vista is looking for buyers for Savage and Stevens:

They will still make ammunition however its biggest core business. Here are their other brands. Being a lifelong RCBS user, looks like I'm switching to another color for future reloading needs. Also no more Outers, CCI or Speer for me.
 
What grinds me is - ammunition is their biggest business, yet they cave to REI who won't order a few Camelbaks from them. Screw your biggest customers for granola eating hikers.
 
It's a free country....buy as you choose.

Personally I try not to cut off my nose to spite my face. If I want or like the products, I'll buy them. The effect of boycotting those brands will be nil, in my humble opinion.

As my old aunt Gladys use to tell us kids out at the farm: "make it easy on yourself."
 
Hmm, besides CCI and aLLIANT, not a single product there that i care about.

Oh, I did buy some Speer bullets, but they are just PD fodder.

For some red blooded bank out there, I see a market forming.
 
and with that CCI and Alliant, if needed, will be the only products I will buy from Vista. Plenty of other good or better products anyway. Glad to had the list thanks
 
If they are selling other non-firearm related businesses too how sure are we that this is a political move? Have they stated that it is?
 
Vista are idiots.

70% of their companies are firearm related.

Ever since Vista took over Savage arms I've seen the quality go down anyways so this might be for the best.

Every man is also free to believe what he wishes and I believe this is the exact mentality that will eventually strip us of our rights. Just imagine if our forefathers had chosen the “easy” way out. We certainly wouldn’t have had the opportunity to experience the freedom that has endured thus far in this country!

Guns are only the beginning. Once they clear that hurdle the rest will come easier but don’t bother yourself.

We had better stand up and stick together if we are going to have a chance of prolonging the inevitable. Yes, it is inevitable because they are indoctrinating the children in public schools and in colleges at an alarming rate. Folks had better wake up!

Exactly! Is there any reason home schooling is growing so quickly?
 
A new day is coming . Even the millennials are ditching the Dems . The trickery is being seen on MSM by millions of people . People are figuring out that if they (NBC,CNN, Hollywood) try to push it down our throats that it's no good for the people .
 
I’m not up to 100% up to speed on what’s happening in the US but in a nut shell it appears that some one or another company new or existing has an opportunity to pick up some successful up and running brands and run with it.. might even pick up a bargain on Savage if Vista is so eager to get out??

"I want my TEA! So what if there is a TAX"!!
 
If one is going to swallow at face value, everything the AP puts out, might as well just hide under the bed now, and get it over with.
From a related article in the WSJ:
"...The company VSTO, -13.07% said Tuesday it would pare its brands to focus on business lines including ammunition and shooting accessories, water bottles and packs and outdoor cooking ware. It will explore the sale of several brands that make products including Bell bike helmets, Giro snow goggles, Blackburn handlebar tape, Jimmy Styks paddle boards and Savage and Stevens firearms..."

I wonder who scared them into quitting bike helmets?
 
I saw that impressive list of companies owned by Vista. There is one missing; Bushnell.
As for Vista being a "traitor" to 2A and "bowing to the pressure of libtard bankers" how do we know this? Did I miss the press release from Vista that said they just didn't want to sell mean guns any longer?
Maybe there is another reason? Look what has happened to the Remington brand. Look what has happened to the Thompson-Center brand. Both were at one time premier brands with strong and loyal followings. Then they fell into the hands of companies that didn't understand what they had. Maybe Vista realizes it doesn't know what it has and just wants to sell it off while the brand still has value. Maybe they see a profit now versus a huge loss later.
Not taking up for them and never worked for them but I would like more facts before ditching some folks like RCBS (who have maybe the best CS in the biz) and killing off jobs of thousands of people.
Now Yeti, well that's another matter entirely.
