Remington Outdoor Company announced Tuesday it was launching a new incentive program to help boost sales by giving top retailers cash for moving inventory.

While ARs and handguns are popular for securing hearth and home, the classic scatter gun still has its place for personal protection.

Remington Outdoor Company said in a statement issued Dec. 6 that it would replace the so-called "Walker trigger" in a dozen variants of the Model 700 rifle at the customer's request.

With tightening gun laws in some states, manufacturers are searching for friendlier ground in other parts of the country — and they’re finding open arms.

Pelican, a global leader in high performance cases, will produce a line of custom gun cases for each of the ROC brands.

According to Remington spokesperson Jessica Kallam, the company believes the change "improves service to the independent retailer."

The company released an announcement that problems had indeed been found and that customers who bought an R51 will be allowed to exchange it for a new one after production resumes.
