It is sad for they appeared to make a nice product.

I must however comment looking at their prices that they are the victim of what appears to be all too prevelent in the gun trade of people wanting to pay low dollar and the manufacturers then priceing at far too low a level to allow a decent profit margin.

I watched the posts on another forum about the demise of Winchester with interest. All of a sudden people were prepared to pay 50% above list for a rifle. If they had done that in the first place then Winchester would still be in business.

Hand fitting and finishing with select walnut stocks for $ 700 ish as shown on their demised site, can't be done . We consumers have to get real, or learn to live with all of our faverite companies being replaced with crappy Chineese imports and that includes the gun trade.

We will go out and by a pair of trainers/sneekers with a 1000%(thats not a typo) profit margin on them and then begrudge engineers or gunsmiths a 20% margin.

I think if your local gunshop or smith gives a good service then support them. Pay the sticker price dont shop for discount. Swallow the extra 10% and be glad that they will be there to supply you next year.

Just my 10c or penny worth.
