Well put North! Funny thing is, I bet 50% of the people who whined and said bad things about TSE, shopped at TSE either on black friday or boxing day. Such hipocrates!
I know there is bad blood between TSE and CSC. Also TSE and 858 owners. Aswell as TSE dealing with all the break-ins and bad PR. However Im guessing TSE didnt want to lose their licence selling a restricted rifle as NR.
It the laws that are the issue, not the business that sell the rifles. Some seem to have their head up a dark hole and dont see this.
