I sell a rifle if I don't have confidence in it. Whether it is the mechanical accuracy based on the hardware or the software interface of how it fits my body, if I cannot get it to perform in the field for me it hits the road.

I had a very accurate model 7 that was fantastic in concept, pacnor barrel, wildcat stock, great groups from a bench and I missed "easy shots" on deer three years in a row. I am convinced it was jinxed as a wedding gift from my now ex-wife. It went down the road and replaced by a tikka. At one point I had 72 straight pigs so the tikka clearly has mojo that the model 7 did not have....

Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
