Hmmm. Low volume, high cost product. Narrow market. Lots of PHs, which ones to choose? How many clients does each one have out in a year? Of those, how many would buy the rifle? Is adequate capacity available to capitalize on increased demand?

The double rifle market IS narrow, and such a scheme would seem to be a great way to get the product into the field and in front of the target market. Obstacles with it though.

1. Beancounters would probably see the scheme as marginal.

2. Many makers may already be near capacity with respect to double rifles anyway.

3. Even manufacturer's cost might be too much for most PHs to swing. Ditto the cost of DR ammo and aggravation of obtaining it.

4. Manufacturer might feel obliged to listen to an earful about the product from the PH. (Don't laugh. This is the biggest obstacle.)
