Email from CA

I'm not talking smack about them just to get that out there now, but I myself have had bad experience with 2 CA rifles and then sold both of them because of their poor customer service. Anyways today I see the CA is sending out emails to join their RAM CLUB for the low price of saying good things on their social media sights and then they will send you free swag a couple times a year. I myself don't see this as good marketing at all, your just encouraging people to make false statement's in my eye's. If your product and CS can't sell themselves then that's just sad.
What's everyones thoughts on this?

It’s becoming more common, instead of paying someone to market their product they have learned that shills will do the work for a few hats, shirts and an entry into a prize Drawing. I don’t agree with it but that’s what a lot of company’s are moving towards. It’s not just the hunting community either.

And here I'm thinking Comifornia sent you an email and that just totally confused me.

I own several christensen rifles and all have been really good. Their customer service has been great as well.

Reminds me of a snack food co. I worked for years ago. Had samples of a new product in their own store. You try it, then write a short review, and you were given a coupon for 20% off your purchases. Most every review was favorable. Based on this alone, the owner went to market on borrowed money. Product was not good and failed wildly.

I own one and buddy owns ones both left handed and both are shooters, no interaction besides telling them they need to make a left handed 280ai.

And then proceeds to talk smack about them

Doesn't matter what my experience was with them, if you haven't noticed that for a factory higher end rifle that they have a lot of complaints then your blind. I now own 3 Seekins and couldn't be happier. If you got a good one then hey good deal and enjoy. The only reason for my post was about them giving free swag away for people to brag them up on social media.
