I am a little confused. When I asked Rick if we could sponsor the custom rifles forum he guaranteed me there would be nothing but sweetness and light coming from the members.
He also told me that all of the members would then order millions of dollars of our products with no questions just because we were a sponsor of 24hrcampfire.
Are some of you insinuating we might have to justify our prices based on the performance of our products???
You�re not actually saying we have to keep producing the most effective optics and hunting rifles are you???
This seems like crazy talk to me.
I paid big, big dollars (alright it was pretty reasonable) for your loyalty without any questions and am just a little insulted anyone would question $6000 for a custom rifle.
It is almost like some of you might expect a $6000 rifle to actually be worth $6000 and perform better than say a $4000 rifle.
If some of you don�t get on the band wagon and do the right thing I might have to ask Rick for a refund. I just have to catch him before he uses our check for a trip to Botswana for elephant.
On a side note we are working very hard on the backordered optics and rifles are shipping at the fastest pace ever.
Thank goodness some guys just believe what they see with their own lying eyes.

I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.
Looks like 6k gets you a turn key long range rifle, with 100rds of ammo. I'm not rich enough to spend that kind of money on just one rifle, but I'm sure it's worth it to the guys who work 80 hours a week and don't have the time to dedicate to precision reloading.
Welcome John. Glad to hear business is good considering many are struggling with the poor economy right now. And after reading your reply, I think you've got the attitide to do just fine around here.
Gee, get a sponsor and the trolls have a riot. I'm not of the class to be a Greybull customer, but hey, people have a right to buy or not buy John's output. This IS America, or at least will be again soon enough....
Up hills slow, Down hills fast Tonnage first and Safety last.
Sponsorship gets their name and website under the link and that's probably about it! Just like a banner add but in a much better place.
I'm unfortunately not going to spend $6K on anything with only one barrel that doesn't shoot water bottle sized cartridges Proud for those with the means to do so!
Don't know if Rick "needs" sponsorship on forums, but if it helps keep the best board on the net going stronger and better I'm all for it!
Won't be buying any $6k Sisk guns either but have e-mailed Charlie with a question recently and was very appreciative of his time to answer and may in the future send some work his way, glad to know he's backlogged worse then the welfare line in Obama's greatest fantasy.
Never heard of Greybull or any names associated with them, but glad to have them here and hope they contribute and get a good return on their investment.
I had the pleasure of meeting John at SHOT Show a couple years ago. Damn nice fella and had some really good looking rifles. Haven't had the chance to shoot them yet, but I'd be willing to bet he wouldn't still be in business if he hadn't been able to satisfy his customers over the years, to include pricing.
Its not that I'm not bringing anything to the table - just been busy watching the "Best of the West" hunting show..................
I do not support Greybull as a sponsor; with their long-range precision "shooting" at game animals, I feel that they promote unethical sportsmanship, but that's just my opinion and everybody has one, just like azz holes.

Support outdoor sports and our hunting-conservationist heritage; hunt with high morals and ethical standards
Proud for those with the means to do so!
