What would the wait be once ordered? We'd planned to do one offering per quarter, so I would expect them to be delivered by March 31st.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

I understand waiting for the mold to get here to get started, but can the pricing and specifications of the rifle get worked out while we wait? I'll answer the pricing question.....if we went with a special paint color on the stock, fluted barrel, no engraving, special twist....$1259.99.

I'd be all over a 6.5-06, and might like a 6.5x284 both 8T.
A 280AI would work too. 9 or maybe 8T
Hmmmmm . . . . 28 Nosler . . ?????

SAS,how about a .340 Wby or .375 Wby LA? Now THAT would be interesting,instead of these "little" cartridges.

The mold isn't finished yet for the short action stocks. When I spoke with them at SHOT, they told me they didn't have it together yet and it should be done any time. Everyone involved expected it to be delivered before now. The guys at MRC are jumping up and down for the mold! As you can imagine, it's costing them money every day the stock is delayed.
That's a good thing as far as I'm concerned. Tell them since the mold isn't done, to raise the comb a bit. The B&C XWR stock had it right as far as comb height… John

Honestly, I'm in mental limbo right now. If there is any interest in an immediate long action offering, feel free to chime in. Must have:
> Left hand
> Stainless
> 6.5x55 @ 1:8"
If you can do this in LH LA for the $1260 mentioned above (plus shipping, plus KY sales tax), I'm good to go...

If we're talking a month before they'd be done anyway, why not start making the rest of the rifle now? Are they that uncertain about the stock? It's the last step in assembly...

If we are talking LA first, how about something a little exotic that takes advantage of the CRF platform for an exclusive :
