....especially when no one listens to you. He's won Salesman of the Year awards from several companies and never received a penny.....and that doesn't happen without people listening.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

I'm thinking a small company could cater to the "nich" market and do very well for themselves.All the while marketing to the masses that dont have a single clue. Win/win
Rifles and proper rings/bases, NO ONE is doing them right.
Thats why the custom market is so big i suppose..but even in the custom market its hard to get a ring/base combo made.
Also a little jealous of the FWB, never seen/knew stick had one.Uncle of mine has one and it does [bleep] that cant be done! incredible 177's.

I knew that the would miss it.
Of course I'd gauge how to build a rifle by the Harrisburg, PA show. Because NO one knows about shooting like Yankees.
[bleep], this thread is epic.

That's funny... 
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

[bleep], this thread is epic. Well, historically the best firearms have been made in NY, CT , and MA!

[bleep], this thread is epic. Well, historically the best firearms have been made in NY, CT , and MA! For factory rifles, yes. However, that's like saying that the best race drivers are from the Great Lakes since historically Ford, Chevy, and Dodge cars were made there. I think NASCAR records might prove a bit otherwise, though.

Yankees who have beaten Tubbs are members of my club; definitely Yankees.  I could cite lots more examples. In traveling around the continent to hunt, I have seen guys who gas piped from....well......every where. Geographic origin has had almost nothing to do with it.

Twist rates: after multiple discussion with Mark, the management team and our gunsmiths as well as others in the field we have made changes to many of the twist rates, all faster. The rates can be seen on the individual rifle pages or the details spreadsheet for each rifle for example here: Closer-Full specifications sheet Fail. Clark
Trump being classless,tasteless and clueless as usual. Sorry, trump is a no tax payin pile of shiit. My young wife decided to play the field and had moved several dudes into my house

I'm glad they finally decided on the twist issue and I can scratch this off the list.
It will save me some obsessive compulsive overthinking on my varmint rifle/utility gun build or purchase.

I agree completely, Fudd's are the R&D I'd want. Nothing spells great R&D like a bunch of Fudd's with a 9 day rifle season.

Indeed It might be worth looking at on the used market for the basis of a rebarrel if you want a sub .24 caliber option. The .24s could be better, but the .22s are just screwed.

You mentioned history. I believe that historically, the best drivers are from North Carolina (Lee Petty, Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt, Ned Jarrett, Junior Johnson), South Carolina (Buddy Baker, David Pearson, and Cale Yarborough) and Florida (Bobby Allison, Davey Allison, and Fireball Roberts).

JasonH what chambering did you order? I ordered a closer model in .243. Sounds like it will be April or May before deliveries begin.

Everything but the 22-250 looks good to me on that spec sheet. I'd take a 1-8" over a 1-9", but the 1-9" will still spin most good 105s in a 243 (105 HPBT, 105 A-Max, 105 VLD...)
