Extra barrels at the time of purchase would be a big hell-yes, if it brought per-unit price down a bit. Especially in getting a .22 Creedmoor, or 6 CM. Even more so if you could find a way to guarantee the barrels were consecutively chambered with the same reamer, right next to each other in line.
Man, everything that comes to mind falls squarely in the "Good for me but not for thee" category.
I love OnX, but can't stand seeing so many new people in what were previously very remote, very hard-earned hunting spots that I know they wouldn't have sussed out without it. Side-by-sides...
Following up - your post caused me to look into these pretty deeply, after having really had my sights set on the Wicked Wing A5. Hit several stores, spent a couple of hours mounting a bunch of guns...SX4, SBE 3, etc. But the Affinity 3.5 pointed for me like it was custom fit.
Picked one up...
That's awesome, thank you. And welcome to Rokslide - the people here are an absolute treasure trove of experience and information, and you just became one of us. I appreciate the photo and powder tip, that's a great group.
EDIT: If you don't mind sharing, what was the charge and velocities...
Hearing the thinking behind a design decision is some of the more interesting stuff for me as well - good design has a hell of a lot more thinking and reasoning than is obvious, especially when the thing looks simple.
That's a little bit of what I was interested too, actually. There's some ambiguity. For me personally though, if it's a gun, a gun part, or something that goes on or in a gun, I'll post or look for it in the guns classifieds.
I'd be extremely interested to see the recoil dynamics of dangerous game cartridges and the Rokstock's geometry. Prediction: extremely effective.
I've wondered about this quite a bit before, actually. Here's why:
About 15 years ago I worked with a gun-fitter whose clients included national...
How to you guys deal with people posting gun stuff in the general classifieds? For example, dies or brass, that would seem more appropriate in the gun classified section?
It looks like you've got some interesting thing in there, but the detail just can't be seen in the photos - can't see what brass that is, bullet mold specifics, etc.
Hi Mods,
It's gotten extremely tedious to scroll through the "Rokslide Classifieds" section looking for anything that's not clothing at this point. It's just clogged with clothing, and then ten other types of random categories of stuff.
When you broke out Archery into its own section, it...
IIRC, the price point of their existing rifles is close to what the expected price of this new rifle should be - so it's essentially their existing market.
The only way for a new gun company to start, grow, and be sustainably profitable - if it isn't backed by 8-figure investment - is to find...
