Use the whole quote.

Besides, not one of the people complaining about GreyBull reported actually using one.
I used and owned a T3 and found it to be a POS which wasn't worth the $399 I paid for it.
The discussion was over the listed price, not the quality nsaqam. Maybe you need to wipe the brown stink off your nose and buy this precision greybull. Show your support!

Nah, I'll let it crust up on there. Lol

You must have had a Tikka lemon because the 3-4 Tikkas Ive owned in the past shot extremely well. Guess once you have a bad experience, you never give it a second chance. Kinda like me with A-bolts.

I think it's good to see folks pushing the envelope for hunting rifles. I don't need it here in N. Texas, but for those who want/need a rifle capable of pulling far-away game a little closer they fill a niche.

It's no different than buying a Saleen/Callaway/Ruf modified car instead of a Nissan Sentra, buying a Patek Philippe/Breguet Swiss watch instead of a Timex at Wal-Mart, or buying a Cessna 150 instead of a restored P-51D Mustang.

Are you implying your Precision rifle outperforms everything out there?

Depending on the components and builder is how I justify the price, although making a rifle 'outperform another rifle lay's a huge part on the shooter them self. You being a highly experienced shooter could probably make a out of the box Sako shoot just as well as most custom's. Or this Bat action w/Bartlein barrel which can be had for approx $3000.

I am not implying but am flat out saying our rifle outperforms anything else out of the box.

The picture shows a rifle for aprox $3000 with an optic for $2000 so now we are at $5000 with no barrel break in, no load development, no custom DCT and no ammo.

I absolutely guarantee our systems will outperform that rifle under real field conditions.

I will also say that is a very nice rifle. Be happy you have what you want. grin

Well this is what he(Slg888) mentioned up top is he about right as to what he quoted below?

Maybe it's just a misprint? Cost of that build would be around $2000.00 + scope correct?

Sorry, + scope.

JBurns, Obviously a few feel your rifle is pricey considering the components you list, but I will agree with Calvin, for a "turn key" rifle with 100 accurate rounds ready to go can be a sweet deal for a lot of folks.

Welcome to the fire, enjoy the criticism, praises, knowledge and especially the entertainment this site offers. It's all fun around here!

Post pics & videos of those kills for us!

I can't really understand how someone who buys a long range system should be considered a "slob hunter". I don't offer a system like John Burns does, but in the last 10 years I've put together a lot of Long Range Rifles and the people who buy them almost exclusively are highly dedicated shooters. Most of them are not rich city dudes, a lot of them are blue color guys. I wonder sometimes how they get the time and money. Long Range shooting is like a disease without a cure, but I doubt an armchair hunter would ever get that.

How do you figure?


In the same way that saying "I wouldn't buy a pack of gum at that store" could be seen as a shot at the grocer.

Ok, I am going to offer 3 new custom rifle packages.

As you can see, you can choose your weapon depending if you want to fire standing (pump action), kneeling (break action - Spring Piston), or prone (Rear bolt action), as they are all custom tailored for each position.

You can fire 100 rounds of your own ammo, and our packages are guaranteed to outperform anything else you will find at any price. 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.

***We have yet to have an unsatisfied customer.

The firing line is HOT wink

Spotting scope? Binoculars? I could tell one hell of a billy from 2 miles with 10x binos.

SLG88, I'm sure your still stinging from that classic "in your face, think before you talk" reply by greybull.

Cracks me up how people who are bored out of their minds sit on the internet all day and rag on others.

To all the negative posters,You dont want to buy to buy a greybull rifle? Then dont..But keep your comments to yourself and mind your own business.This stuff really gets old..

From a business perspective, it is worth whatever the market will bear, just like everything else. If you could sell all you can make at $10,000, then that is what it is worth.
