    Savage - Remington - Layoffs


    ATK Sporting Group, which purchased the Westfield-based Savage Arms in 2013, will spend the next two weeks laying off more than 100 workers at its Westfield and Lakefield, Ontario manufacturing plants. Company spokesman Tim Brandt confirmed to CBS-3 Springfield Saturday afternoon that of the 120 people who will lose their jobs in the coming weeks, 95 will be at the Westfield facility on Springdale Road.

    I believe it's a combination of gun supply has meet gun demand, some ammo still being expensive and or hard to find, and the economy is still slow.

    I agree. Most people are probably fairly newly hired (since 2008).

    When you flood the market with cheap product and your customer base takes advantage of said cheap product by buying multiples in quick succession (cuz they're cheap), you pretty much kill your own market demand and said demand dries up almost as quickly as it flourished.

    Remington may also be due to prep/initial stages of move to Alabama.

    That is more along the lines of what I was thinking.
