Vista Outdoor Inc., which sells everything from Federal Premium bullets to
Camelbak water bottles, plans to stop making firearms after some major
retailers said they would halt sales of all the company’s products following
February’s Florida high-school shooting.

If they bend over for this, I'll boycott their full product line. I'll miss Hoppes but they can't be stupid enough to think that they can sell ammo, optics, holster and everything else gun related but not selling the gun itself makes them golden with the liberals. Jesus if you don't have the gun, the rest of the stuff sure ain't going to do you much good. Their CEO need to grow a pair - sounds like he has been hanging around the Yeti water cooler.

I wonder who scared them into getting out of the bike helmet business?

...The company VSTO, -13.07% said Tuesday it would pare its brands to focus on business lines including ammunition and shooting accessories, water bottles and packs and outdoor cooking ware. It will explore the sale of several brands that make products including Bell bike helmets, Giro snow goggles, Blackburn handlebar tape, Jimmy Styks paddle boards and Savage and Stevens firearms...."

Maybe it's simply a financial move.

Stop doing business with traitors and let them know frequently that you bought from their non freedom hating competitors.

Then where is their statement to the gun community?

This is fricken federal. They know what is going on. This is not in a vacuum. They are not that stupid even if they want to pretend they are.

They're not dumping Federal, Federal is making them money. They're dumping Savage, Stevens and a few other underperforming companies.

I didn't realize the 'community' was owed a statement, and to review the announcement:

...The company VSTO, -13.07% said Tuesday it would pare its brands to focus on business lines including ammunition and shooting accessories, water bottles and packs and outdoor cooking ware. It will explore the sale of several brands that make products including Bell bike helmets, Giro snow goggles, Blackburn handlebar tape, Jimmy Styks paddle boards and Savage and Stevens firearms...."
