I am kicking myself for not jumping on this. Hope it turns out as awesome as it sounds and that SAS can do it again. You're going to get your chance next week. I've not announced the second group buy intentionally. The MRC guys have been good to me and I wanted to give them plenty of time to catch up. They're already screwing barrels on the actions for the second batch. Different chambering, same twist, standard gray stock, no flutes. I wanted to keep the cost down a bit on this one. Jeff told me yesterday the second batch would be done late September - mid-October. I'll start the thread VERY SOON....
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Yep +284 & 243. I'd jump on a 7-08 and maybe 243.

If the next one is a 243 8 twist put me down for one of those too. That action has enough space to run a 243 right.

I received a shipping notification today! I don't know how many are coming, but it's starting..
I asked them to ship as they came off the line rather than holding them until they're all done. Emails will be sent out as soon as they arrive. I'm just going down the list in the order I received commitments.
Any updates yet on how many were shipped? DISREGARD saw the answer in the other thread. SAS, thanks for the pics sir!!

Now that I'm down for #2 for #3 I'd like a 6.5 saum with a fluted barrel and about a .081" freebore. Neck diameter would depend on what the new hornady brass is set up for. 24" barrel please. #4 would be a ss 28 nosler 24" tube a 22" ss 9,3x62 with open sights and a barrel band for a sling would be tempting too.

You know a Whittaker/24hour group buy would be a perfect springboard for MRCs 'mini' action that they never got around to producing... I'm thinking they could sell a few 8" twisted 223/223AIs... And in Lefthand!

One of those 'minis' in a 17 Fireball, 17 Rem, 20 VarTarg or even a 204 Ruger as a walking varminter would be pretty cool...
