[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 564829, member: 25383"] why? * they make more money doing a Remington or Winchester * that's the only action they have a clue about, just like some guys only build Chevys for race engines when the guy next to them has a race hemi Some folks decry the nut and others swear by it. Some folks don't like the trigger blade because they didn't put one on the off brand. Others don't like they way a rifle looks, but in the bush with mud splattered on it they all look about the same. Others don't like the bolt head while others do. Yet they will swear by one or the other. I hear folks say the looks thing everyday, and just love to laugh at them.
