BigBully told me about this crazy thread so I thought I'd drop a line. First off. Guns are guns. Some are more accurate than others reguardless of who built them or what they cost. Such is life. There are a lot of good gun plumbers out there to choose from. I saw on your list for example GA Precision. They are the biggest here in the states. George (owner) and I are good friends. If you need to drop him a line you can PM him on snipershide.com. He goes under A10Xrifle. See what he says about our sticks. Don't take my word cause hell, everyone builds the "best". You know how that goes. Ask some of the guys on there about our work. Apples to apples I'd put our guns up against anything made by any maker. Am I saying we are "the Best"? s**t no! You can't give that title to anyone. Why? Too many variables envolved. You reach a certain level and the rest comes down to the components that hold the stick together, the load, and most important the shooter. That's why our T-shirts say "Shut Up & Shoot" on the back. It doesn't take long to get tired of hearing all the BS. Just shut up and put your gun on the line and send some lead down range. The proof is in the pudding.
I will say that this rifle shoots! Holding 1 MOA to 1000 isn't hard with a gun of this size. But holding 1 MOA with factory ammo is totally different statement at 1000.
The rifle wasn't even totally finished in that photo.
I say we all get together at the "bigbully's" house for a beer. I'll be up for some hunting around the 8th of Nov. Probably just end up freezing my willy off. This thing you guys call snow doesn't exist here.
One last comment on the gun broker comment. I took over this company 8 years ago. Most people here know that. Guns built previously to my take over don't sell cause they are freak'n junk. Try finding something recent for sale. The last one that came up on Snipers Hide for sale sold in 6 minutes.
