      grave digger gave a good warning about on line phishing, however, a key is, that like in this posted site they asked for basic name, address and e-mail. they did ask if you are over 18 as they have to for a firearm, Nothing here to hurt anyone, but if this was a serious phishing scam they would have asked for D.O.B or even SSN and that keys you that there is a scam here. That would have tipped me off not to bother, the info they asked for in this one, except for your e-mail, is in the phone book and all of mine is is posted on my web site and business card, However, it could be an e-mail collection scam and those are near impossible to detect. Good Spam filiters are the only protection for idiots like me......Grave digger gave a good warning so if we get bombarded with spam e-mails, we deserve it..... Remington hires out promotion companies to conduct all their rebates, drawings and other advertizing related business, They will be linked to the Remington site. So if you are indoubt about any Remington offer just call Remington.

        errr websites work the other way...

        Broco.com is the main site for the drawing which looks very odd.

        Subdomains go BEFORE the main site... i.e. news.google.com is a subsite of google.com... Google does not own news.com (cnet owns it)...

        Looks like some company called "brothers and company" is running this. Whoever they are they registered their website with a fake fax number...

        It also looks like they claim to have Remington as one of their clients:

          Only need to enter the bolded fields. Name, Zip and email. Address and phone number not required
