20 of the rifles are spoken for. I've returned all emails as well. Derrick, I understand this is a very open question, but do you think a stainless .308 will be offered in the future? Kenneth, Honestly, I'm going to leave that open to the members here. Towards the end of the month I'll start a new thread about the next run. That's why I'm doing it the way I did. I want your input. BTW -- I'm a big 308 fan...

Maybe this was answered in the other thread by why the limit to 25? I know you were committed to 25 per quarter but most group buys I've seen set some minimum limit - i.e., we need to order at least this many whatevers to get the company to make the special run, but if we get orders for more than that then so much the better.
Not criticizing, just curious.

Jim,
My total commitment was 100. 25 per quarter. These rifles are on top of our/their normal business. We had to set a goal for production because these rifles won't be in their normal spec (special twist, flutes, etc.).
Please keep in mind that we may be stuck with some inventory too. This buy went well, but we may only sell half of the next run and I'd be committed to selling them in house. Make sense?

If there are any of the right hand models fall through, I would love one.

Make the next group either 7-08 or 284 win, and I'm on board. Interested to hear from the rest of our 'fire brothers how this bunch turns out. Thanks SAS.

284, twisted and throated correctly, is the only thing truly unique that would be a hot item in this series.

I think a 243 would be nice, with a 1-8" tube.

Yeah a 243 would be near perfect. How about a 6mm Remington in factory or AI configuration? Is there enough mag box in the MRC to seat the 105gr.+ VLD's to a good OAL?
I've not messed with the 6mm Rem except for a Ruger M77 with 100gr. cup and core spitzers. I do know that it appealed to me as a teeny bit better than the 243. Maybe. But that's the fun of it all ain't it?

A 284 throated for the long box would be the schnizzle.

Nice. Was wondering what people were going to top their rifle with.

I have a 3.5-10x40 VX-III that I am going to put on mine initially. After some load development it shoots little small groups with good long range bullets (3/4" or less) I will replace that scope with something I can dial and play with it long range. If accuracy is good to average ( 1" plus) I will keep the VX-III on it and use it for a woods rifle, 200 to 300 yards maximum.
I will be happy going either way.

Too soon? Nope. I call that good planning! Have not found any Lapua brass in stock at the usual online retailers. Will stop by my local guy sometime this week. He usually has a good supply of 6.5mm bullets - the brass I'm not so sure. In a pinch, I'll get some Nosler brass just in case the Lapua does not show up.
