[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2838790, member: 12443"] Well im not all that sure there would be many others with any history at all at this point. But ive always been thankfull that they cared enough about lefty shooters to be the first in this country to make a lefty action. I got my first one in the early 60s, a premier grade model in 30/06. From across the room most thought it was a Wetherby mark V, and it was also a pretty decent shooter. About 15 years ago i got my grandson a model PCF or something that came in 338 Lapua and 308 only. I brought the gun from the store, cleaned the barrel, and loaded a few 150 grain spitzers with 43 grains of 4320. The scope was new also, a Nikon Buckmaster,which they mounted and bore sighted at the store in Clearfield Pa. I took it outside to our 100 yard range and the first shot was pretty close to my aiming point. I was shooting at one of those orange target dots about 1 1/2” in diameter. Anyway the next 5 shots had 4 all touching, and 1 about a half inch away. One of the best groups ive ever shot with any gun, including a few customs. To this day that orange sticker is still on the stock of that gun. About a month later i watched through tripod mounted glasses as my young grandson took a porkupine out of a tree at almost 900 yards with it, shooting from a bench as we always do when hunting and practicing at long range. So i would argue that they still offer a pretty decent product, especially considering the cost, and the fact that for some at least there arent many better options. [/QUOTE]
