Surface finish was not to my liking, stock felt cheap, like my ex.
Sounds like a personal issue.
I prefer the nula finish to the Barrett finish; but I’d throw that into the realm of the subjective.
So far everything has been subjective!
I think weight and stiffness are both pretty objective - and measurable. Well-made may be a bit more subjective - but I have enough representatives of everything discussed (excepting wcn) to feel pretty comfortable making that call.
