There's a big difference between the .260 group buy and the .243 buy..... that difference is commonality. No one makes a properly twisted, stainless sporter .260..... well, almost nobody. On the other hand.... I can walk into any local enabler and grab a stainless 700 in .243 that'll shoot 105s and let me fit'em in the magazine. Slap a Ti stock on it and you're the same basic profile/weight as the MRC. It ain't CRF.... but I've yet to be charged by a angry muley or been mauled by a poorly hit coyote.
I dig these buys, Derrik has certainly taken the bull by the horns and delivered some really cool rifles where options were previously limited. It's nice to see a business take time to address the desires of a small (yet vocal) community. I'd have bought one of the .260s if I didn't already have 6.5s coming out the ears.... and when (faith) one rolls out in .284 I'll be first on the list. I also can't wait for the T3 Sweedes to get here.... I've already got brass prepped....
Thanks for putting this together SAS.....
