    HEY! Does anyone know if Remington is still importing the Spartan line of shotguns? I emailed remington and was told they are but not as many. When I ask why it was not on their web or in the 2009 catalog or where I could get info on them I got no response on first asking. On second attempt I was told that they did not know. What kind of answer is this. I own a SPR 220 20ga. and really like it (300 shells no problems) and mite like to have a 12ga. SPR 220. Any help? Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I have shot one in 16ga

    Baikal makes them Remington imports them

    they are ok, fit in finish leave a little to be desired I think they are worth the money

    Most people see that as being better than too loose. I have a Stevens 411 made by Baikal and now sold by Remington. Good gun, but not as pretty as Italian or Belgian guns.

    I am sorry sir, but this is not a Remington. Yes, it does have the Remington name assosciated with it, but it is made in Russia at the Bakail plant. I have a 410 side by side made by them, called the IZH-43, and was imported by European American Armoury. It was/is great for a $270.00 gun, and has features such as single selective trigger, and auto ejectors. Fit and finnish are definately not Beretta/Browning quality...nor REMINGTON.

    I have a 20g. I bought it as a "loaner" for the skeet range. Has probably 1k rounds through it. No problems, breaks birds. As stated above, a little tight, but I consider that a good thing. I bought some remington chokes on clearance at W-mart for $5 each, but I haven't tried them to see if they fit yet.

    Good luck.
