I saw these rifles on the Zander's on-line catalog and had not heard of them.
What's the word on them?

When Mike Bellm was living here in town, I know he became a dealer for them, and they flew him to Spain multiple times for consultant work, before they were going to jump into the US Market..
they are pretty high quality, and well made... at least what Mike was telling me...I know their pricing was right around $300 per barrel....
they also have a thing evidently for a one in 10 twist, as that is what they use on ALL of their calibers...which to me sucks if you are thinking of a 6.5mm or 7mm chambering...
Mike was selling them for his TC and Encore ReBarrel business...

The maintenance on the Sophia style looks to be high, very high.

I checked them out look nice. I have one of the barrels on a muzzleloader that shoots great. I'd be tempted to try a rifle down the road just to try

Never owned one but have heard and read many comments about them and I don't remember anything negative. All positive that I can recall.
