If you can�t see how this is working then I would suggest you stay out of the custom rifle business.
I am not here to convince any of the nay sayers. You boys already have your mind made up and the facts don�t make a bit of difference.
The vast majority of the 30,000 member of this sight have no interest in taking on the likes of Lil Fish but they do enjoy my little funning with him. My PM box overfloweth if you know what I mean.
Getting some serious hunters to take a look at some video of our rifles and scopes working in the field is never a bad thing for someone in my buisness.
I make some damn good rifles and scopes and the silent majority here is beginning to take notice.
Am thinking you're full of schit about the PM box overflowing with rifle business.
And, yes, I'm sure the "silent majority" is beginning to take notice of more than a few things.
VA,
I have been at the rifle game for more than a little while and have driven the direction of the LR hunting industry for more than a few years. I would not be wasting my time if this was not in my best interest.
Since I posted this video 3 hours ago over 500 views have been add to the thread. Not too hard to figure out.
Any thread I am on the views skyrocket because guys are interested in what I have to say.
Some think I am full of schitt and might be right but with the video the smart guys can separate the BS from the real deal.
A shrinking Violet on a forum like this will get eaten alive in short order. Why do you think no other custom builder will play this game with you boys??
Big difference from "views" (which could be anything from "that's cool" to "wtf" to "that/those guy(s) is/are (a) dick(s)", and a "PM box overfloweth" with work related stuff.
Big difference.
Your tactic is clear; it's the same as Terrible Owens, Chad Ochocinco, Latrell Sprewell, Anna Nicole Smith... "any publicity is good publicity".
At this point, the ONLY avenue that you've got left as far as this business plan is that folks will think (and buy) that you make a good product (which you undoubtedly do) regardless of price, and regardless of the personality of the guy making the product.
That, can work... though you're on a thin limb with little recourse if folks just start going "that guy is a douche, and no matter how good his stuff is, I can get it elsewhere from someone who ain't".
Your call, obviously, and good luck with it.
As for no other custom builder playing here, um.... you missed widely on that one as well.
