Biggest gripe I've seen or heard is that they are ugly. One person said he had one umpteen years ago and it would not shoot so
he would never have another. Any manufacturer can put out a lemon once in awhile, but he wouldn't acknowledge a Remmy ever
being a bad shooter. As for the ugly, I have three stainless VLP's and stainless 10MLII, all with laminate stocks, and no one who
had seen them have referred to them as being ugly. They all just happen to be shooters, too. However, the 10MLII now sports a
PacNor .458 barrel.
