But it also needs to be able to be sold (hence the broad appeal you mentioned), so it can't deviate too radically and still needs to be priced at production rifle prices. Now that a Winchester EW is over $1K, an MRC seems much more competitive.
So make mine a 260 or 7-08, green with flutes. Prefer no engraving, especially if it will cost more, but if you need it for advertising, that makes sense to me.

To be honest I can't say I'd buy one in the first run, just had something else fairly expensive dropped into my lap. That said, my tastes are pretty straightforward.
Left hand
.308
22" barrel
Gray stock
No flutes
A small "WG" logo is fine with me.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

I've already got more deer rifles than I can possibly use ,but if I was to get another,it would be a 22-250 ,with a 1-8 twist ,22" heavier taper barrel.
of the options offered,I would take a 7-08,no engraving,no fluting,only because I have dies,brass and bullets.

Although, a 22" fluted barrel might make for quite the handy rig... I could live with that as well.
If engraving is necessary, I would prefer it on the barrel as well.

I might be interested in one of these in the future after I see some more reports and get a better idea of how the stock looks.
My main question though is what do these offer that can't be ordered directly from MRC?

8" twist .260, but be sure they are throated short enough to easily reach the lands with the VLD type bullets.
… or .308
Non Fluted 24" in .260, 22" in .308
Gray stock
Floorplate, but no engraving.

Well if everyone that chimes in here actually buys one it's a nice size order!
Maybe Legendary Arms Works should take notice

Shortactionsmoker,
Do you have the option to use a thinner barrel profile like MCR uses on their High Country Series rifles?
It would be a nice combination with the short action you are looking to order.

For future runs please consider a 250 Savage. AI would be an enormous favor... Featherweight SS bolt on either side.

What's the mag box length? Now that I'm thinking of it, I'd take a 308 IF the box was big enough and it was throated right to shine with the 155 Scenar.

Still interested but like someone else said. It should offer something that a production rifle doesn't offer as a limited release. What that might be I don't know at this point. Just thinking out loud.

Just thinking out loud. I agree, 260's-308's are production and can be ordered regardless. I would love to see a 358 win or a (I know this was out of SAS's original parameters) V2 in 9.3x62.
