No debate needed; information only.

If you've been considering a 795 as an LTR, it might be worth getting that taken care of promptly. Even without the rebate, they're a good deal. With the rebate, they're a steal. (Out the door at Dick's for $128 last week, $25MIR = $103 for the rifle with one magazine. Mags are available for $15-20 at various locations. Techsights are available as well.)

No word at this time on how this will affect warranty claims, but I wouldn't factor the warranty into a purchase decision.

Update Sunday 3/28: I'm seeing unconfirmed information that they are only closing this plant, keeping all tooling and rights, and will be resuming production in a new location. This is a good thing, obviously.
