A "turn key system", ready to go, ought not need someone to teach you to use it, regardless of whether Burns builds it, or Larry specs it, or Remington produces it. Agreed. This eval can be done cheaply and at zero cost to the people sending their rifles to be tested (due to contributions from members here). No travel or vacation time required. Simply a trip to the PO. The Chosin Few November to December 1950, Korea. I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.

I don't know him. I met him last year at the Dallas Safari Club show, but he wouldn't remember me from anybody. I looked at his scope......I also looked at the Huskemaw scope.......I don't own either. I really don't care what he is trying to sell or what he charges. I am aware that most of us rifle loonies could probably duplicate or exceed his offering for less money....and I don't think he owes us an explanation for what he builds or what he charges. He says his system is the best.......let's find out! I think the most fair way would be to fly all three to neutral territory so none have the home field advantage and let the cards fall where they will. Cancer Sucks

If you care to read the whole thread, Stick never challenged John, nor did Matt. VA posited the 3-way shootoff.

Little Fish claims to have 6 months a year off but I might just be able to schedule a halibut trip. I love fishing with Doc Warners. Does Little Fish have access to more than the 700yds range he seems to think is the end all be all?? John Burns I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.

I ain't got a dog in this fight........but, after seeing the smack talk from all three, I'd sure enjoy seeing how it turns out! Cancer Sucks

You could likely guess the price (you'll also notice that things like barrel make and trigger aren't secret) https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...ifles_for_Sale_McMillan_Leupo#Post504238 "Dear Lord, save me from Your followers"

What is really getting up your nose, stick and Matt not standing up for themselves and their word.....or John coming out on top?.....do you have an issue with John?
