[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 171440, member: 10"] James, The first production receiver should be here in the next week or so from what my manufacturer has told me. Do I believe it withthe delays I have already had........ I designed the receiver and then submitted the design to a manufacturer with state of the art EDM and CNC machining capabilities. Looking over examples of some other receivers they have made showed quality on par with or better then Nesika Bay receivers so I am very hopeful. There have been alot of delays but with all the unique features I have designed into my Raptor receiver, this was to be expected to some degrees. Not just another Rem 700 clone so I expected some delays. Once we get everything tested and proven, then I will be ordering receivers by the 10 or 20 count lots which will drop cost some and also spead up shipping times. I would love to have the machines to do the work but the amount of $$ and time it would take to get set up and proficent with the machines is something I just cannot afford as far as time or money right now. It would be nice though. As far as your wildcats for elk at 1000 yards, you may want to look at the 30 cal as min for your choice. A big 7mm will certainly get the job done but at 1000 yards on heavy game, they are not overly authoritative on a rifle of this weight which will limit barrel length and mass. For deer, its perfect. My 9 lb 7mm AM is a joy to hunt with, that said, its a 1/2 mile rifle max from an accuracy and shootability standpoint. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
