I know all about the manufacturing challenges. Maybe I’m getting old? Not that I don’t think there is a place for the Ruger American or the Savage Axis, I just think there is a huge segment of the bolt action market that wants something better. It appears as if every manufacturer thinks dipping their stocks in some god awful camouflage and cerakoting the action is innovation.
I know I can’t be the only person out there disgusted with what’s currently available on the market?
Pretty well expresses the thoughts I’ve had for quite some time now. I don’t think it just bolt action rifles though. In the US, it seems the biggest era of product innovation and manufacturing has long since passed. For much of my adult life, I’ve found ‘most’ continental firearms (rifles and shotguns) to vastly surpass ‘most’ American-made products in overall quality and workmanship. It’s a generalization which means there are exceptions.
