[QUOTE="tdot, post: 1741297, member: 91330"] I've handled a few Gunwerks over the years and was never quite able to be convinced, and I really wanted one. The more I handled them and the more I spoke to owners. I came away with the impression that Gunwerks is primarily a very well marketed firearm that is ideally suited to someone who hunts rarely and possibly shoots their gun for the first time on the same hunting trip. No disrespect intended to others who have bought a Gunwerks or the company itself... this is just my impression. I was told by a store salesman (not a Gunwerks salesperson) that the cost of their ammo was offset by the fact that I could buy a box of 20, a new rifle and kill an elk at 1000 yards, all with the same box of 20 rounds. Gunwerks had taken away all the need to practice. It was then that I started realizing that Gunwerks "complete package" also included LR shooting skill and experience. Whether expressed directly or implied, that implication was there that you didn't need any skills or any actual understanding of what you were doing. I ended up building a custom. It was about 75% the cost of a Gunwerks and is an exceptional rifle. Imo, a better rifle then a Gunwerks. I've spent way, way more then the cost difference on reloading, but that tradeoff was ok for me. [/QUOTE]
