if indeed the rumor is true that the Freedom Group, a Holding Company that owns a number of distinguished Firearms Manufacturers, Remington, Bushmaster, Panther, Marlin is being bought out by a consortium of Remington managers and paralell Jason Schauble getting the heave-ho from Trackingpoint without any discernible precipitating event. Oddly, things from all outside appearences outside seemed to be going "great guns" at TrackingPoint as well as with the Freedom Group, the latter making money hand over fist principally with the every Ar-15 Bushmaster they could make flying off the shelves. Would not be surprised if Schauble was part of the Remington Cabal buying Freedom Group. Freedom Group has wanted to unload these companies since Sandy Hook and many feel at least they were not enthusiastic trustees of these venerable brands or Gun Rights. Understandable on their part as they came under withering criticism from the aggrieved families and any number of opportunistic politicians after that horror. So a change in ownership seems just the thing. Might explain Schaubles departure if he is part of this group and wanted help reinvigorate these companies with the kind of innovation he helped create with the Marine Corps, Remington Arms and TrackingPoint. As he has a pretty compelling back story and a ferocious defender of the 2ND Amendment it would be a nice fit. Just a hunch that this new situation could create more opportunities for "Smart Scopes" to find their way into other platforms and brands for hunters and the military, Future Of War eh?. May be something, may be nothing at all. Regardless Freedom Group selling out to this group would be good all around.
