    Absolutely; my comment was based strictly on a suggestion to the poster in regards to availability of a MH rifle in any respect in lieu of him not getting his name in. I can't see any of these rifles reducing in value for many years!

    I just ordered a 375 hunting rifle. I might get it by the fall.... Why are people whining about there being significant lead time and upfront cost to a "semi-custom" NR 308 semi that everyone expects to shoot under 1 MOA? The production runs are sold out because customers WANT THE PRODUCT. If I had the money I would be on the phone to Rick today.

    Just out of curiosity, what's the deal with proofing new manufactured firearms in Canada? We don't have anything like a national proof house, do we, so it must be commercial firms?

    Interesting, never had occasion to think about it before, but what do you do when you want to proof a new made in Canada firearm?

    Proof is the name of the company producing the carbon fiber wrapped barrels.

    ATRS needs to start making their own barrels...seeing that they have the expertise to make quality firearms, I sure they could make quality match grade barrels too!!! The more Canadian it is, the better.

    Three problems. Time, Money and Space. The idea has been tossed around, but I can't see it happening in the foreseeable future.

    I can see the EE ad now...

    Priced for quick sale, first run Modern Hunter, custom serial # MONEYBAGS, will consider trades for mortgage payment and gas.

    That's the plan. It's in design right now, and we aim to have a prototype off to the RCMP later this year. Our past experience with the modern hunter took appx. 3 years for them to classify it, however we are told it should be faster with the Modern Varminter, as it's just a scaled down hunter... but it's hard to say what to expect for a time frame.
