Already factoring that into the plan. I want to change what buyers expect. Starting at Rokslide might help.
I hate the “3 shot” moa guarantee. Anyone on Rokslide should understand that I can shoot a few groups to cherry pick one and send it back.
Also, I feel like I am above average shooting consistently small groups so I can “proof out a rifle” into a reasonable standard, and roll that minimum into the cost. I’m not benchrest tiny shooter, but I feel like I can prove it to myself.
If it doesn’t shoot, then I would not ship it and deal with my barrel guy for a replacement. Make sense?
On new prefit barrels I have gotten, within 20 rounds, I can usually tell if it’s a dud.
As a policy, I believe in the barrels and If I put the time and effort on the front end, it will eliminate the garbage on the back end with the false expectation the “3 shot 1 moa guarantee” creates.
I can eliminate issues with user error like bad torque, bad rings, bad stock, bad reloading, etc. I would guarantee the barreled action, not in the plastic stock to eliminate possible issues and get the potential of the rifle.
Interested in your thoughts, I can proof the barreled actions with:
Torquing barreled action into a known good stock and mount a scope. Create a couple loads with two different bullets and shoot both.
Deliver with targets and video showing it shoots minimum XX moa for at least 5 shots.
I know I am crazy, but is this way out there, lol.
