If I were gonna do a long action group buy, it would have to be a .270 or maybe a 6.5-06.

If it has to go to long action now, then the 9.3x62 would be a unique niche first offering.

9.3x62, 6.5x55, and 35 whelen would be my top long actions. They ever gonna offer a .223 or 17 rem I'd take a few of those right now.

9.3x62 with a 22" tube would get my attention real quick(.264 Winnie with a 26" would be stellar though!!!!)....

I'm not getting in on the group buy, but am following along. Reading some of the posts, I don't understand why some want basically an off the shelf rifle. If I'm reading it right, there doesn't appear to be much of a price break, so if it's going to be "exclusive", seems like you'd want it in an uncatalogued caliber and/or configuration? Good luck, hope it gets hashed out.

The "buy" is nothing off the shelf they offer. The twist is different, barrel fluting would be something different, an alternate stock color would be a different option...
The whole goal is to produce something we want that you can't pick up across the counter. No huge changes, just special options and minor improvements (in the eyes of some).
The availability of the SA stock threw a wrench in plans. I'll call them tomorrow with some other ideas.

John I am a buyer in 6.5-06 I'm not in on this deal; no dog in the fight. But if you want a hot-shot 6.5 then the 6.5/280AI looks to me like the real deal. Max output out of the '06 based case and nobody will have one like it FOR SURE! Comparatively, the basic 6.5/06 is so.......off the shelf.

It hasn't been stated here, but I am guessing that a SAAMI round is a requirement. I doubt MRC would want to do a wildcat. In fact, maybe a round that they already chamber (or plan to) is a requirement. SAS . . . please clarify.

MRC does,but the rifle then becomes a "custom" and it's more expensive.

No true wildcats for this....
They do have a custom shop for specific builds though.

Sorry sas, I wasn't intending to criticize your efforts, it's a big commitment and undertaking on your part. I was trying to point out that some folks posted "wants" were basically standard X2s (i.e. .308, no flutes, no engraving) The SA fast twist .260, flutes, engraving & different paint and would be more "exclusive", or a LA in the uncatalogued 9.3x62 with Leopard print stock would qualify too.
