Anyone heard of them? Their adds are starting to pop up on different web sites? Big dollars for their rifles. http://proofresearch.com/

I thought I read someplace that this is the new company put together by what was/is Jense Precision and Lone Wolf stocks and now known as Proof Research? Don't they also have some sort of connection now to Defiance actions?? Might be wrong though?

Proof is the merger of ABS barrels, Lone Wolf and Jense - all now in a spectacular new building in Kalispell. Defiance and Proof share the same major investor.

I thought so - Jeff was a good guy!! He helped me out several times when I ordered an action from Defiance.

I drive by Proof Research daily. Beautiful building which I'm sure cost big bucks to build and beautiful rifles inside. Mike Goguen is one of the founders, he's got big bucks. Link to the cover story in last weeks Beacon here in Kalispell, MT. http://www.flatheadbeacon.com/articles/article/the_roots_of_philanthropy/31056/

Yeah, they finally got that palace out of the mud. I was stunned at what was a-building, I can only imagine all the toys they have inside.
Why they didn't have a property with a tube for testing kind of surprises me, however.

Initially, there was discussion of a tube between their facility and the indoor shooting range next door. Not sure if it ever got past discussion though.
