I just purchased a .223 Mini LW from you, and the transaction went as smooth as silk. I like the rifle, and it is consistently putting up 3 shot groups under an inch with 50gr.,55gr. and 65 gr. bullets. But that damn magazine catch lever is an absolute abortion-it is way too easy to inadvertently drop the magazine when handling the rifle. So, put me on the list of prospective floor plate purchasers. CP.

I think Tikka would do well if they'd put out a 6.5 SAUM Damn Straight! That would be a free for all to grab those, if they twisted it right.
THE CHAIR IS AGAINST THE WALL. The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world. The website is up and running!www.lostriverammocompany.com

Ha!
It takes more than just me. I compile opinions from here and pass them along. You guys will make or break these things. If they do them and they're received well in the market, running line changes happen across the industry. If nobody puts their money where their mouth is, all progress stops. Bingo !!!
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Update...
I honestly feel like some of these projects will materialize this year. Conversations this year were constructive and opinions are changing.
I also had some good talks with Howa. We discussed the floor plate for the mini's. We took one apart and measured some stuff for the mag box. There's room and I emphasized the need for 2.50" of internal space. They were leaving for a meeting specifically about the floorplate and mag box as soon as our meeting adjourned. They also know the floorplate needs to be a drop in for existing rifles and it needs to be available for purchase to guys already owning one. A Mini for mini's is also coming as an exclusive to us (Whittaker Guns) for a period before it comes a running line option. The youth stocked version will be in 6.5 Grendel, 7.62x39 and 223.
I had a really good meeting with Kimber too. Lots of new faces and they're all receptive to change. We discussed many options, but the 1 in 8" 243 got the most play. Initially my thought was 6 Creed, but they were really receptive to doing fast twist 243. Obviously, I didn't object! Their new rifle manager is willing to listen and I truly expect some good things from her!
I would be in for either one of these options, preferably the Kimber
