If their profit was $250 a unit (WAG) ... I can understand why they would be focusing on the military contracts. You have a smart coffee napkin! My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

I would have but no one had the chambering I wanted in stock. So, I wonder who will jump in and fill the void? The Proof Research elevation and Seekins Precision Havak are both similarly priced rifles that maybe have a slightly more “tactical” look depending on the stock choice but will fill a similar niche IMO as do some of the Kimber’s if going for a more stock factory rifle. On Proof Research website the cheapest Elevation is $2999 and goes up to$3099, almost double what I paid for my FC. I have thought of a Proof Research so was wondering where they are priced like a FC. (Not what people are selling their used ones for.)

It was a great success, and folks keep asking about it. He said there’s no plans for it in 2021. But it’s definitely not dead. They want to concentrate on supplying the ones that keep us safe.

Melvin tried, but as soon as he took his boot off their necks, it fell apart. Better to expand if there’s sufficient demand, and I suspect they don’t see that. What fresh Hell is this?

There will always be other rifles. My Kimber Montanas do very nicely once I go through the Montana check list. My heart's in the mountains, my heart is not here.

RPM,throat geometry and COAL have never been done better,over the counter. Hint. The Montucky 84M 2.815" COAL 'box is a huge concession and they botched RPM to boot.
