[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2873875, member: 879"] I am very happy to see that you have come to the only right conclusion. Lots of companies making promises they have no intention of keeping. Truth is, you bought the wrong rifle and it is not your fault. Lots of folks encouraging bad buys. Like every other venue or media, the internet is always behind the curve; always a year or two behind reality. Whenever I try to help folks here with what I have learned the hard way by experience, trial and error, I find it hard to overcome the avalanche of hype already out there about how this or that is great, so that folks are confused or won't listen because their are just too many voices screaming. Some folks still believe they can't go wrong if they go with the hype and spend more money (because more expensive has to be better, right?). You can show them real groups on paper and they still won't believe it and so they throw money at the goal, hoping that will get them better performance. You buy a more expensive rifle thinking it must be better because it is more expensive. Wrong! Marketing genuises have learned that if you can't sell a product for under a $1,000 because no one wants it; all you have to do is slap a $2500 price tag on it and people will beat your door down to buy it for $2200 and think that they are getting a bargain. It is still the same junk you couldn't sell for $1,000; all you did was up the price and fools fell over themselves trying to get it before someone else did. Not saying Springfield is a bad company. I own a Springfield. I'm just saying that is the technique the buyer must watch out for. Look at the freaking holes in the paper beyond 100 yards before you buy your next rifle. [/QUOTE]
