Not catering to the 5% of boutique shooters who **** and moan cuz we can't run 195s in our 7 mag which is too small a case for them anyways!
OMG, somebody actually said that aloud!

Then you need to find another smithTrue, in my personal experience though the factory one will work like it should mostly out of the box where as the "gunsmith" built one most likely will not

If you planning to hunt and take game in the sub 550 yd range do you need a 26"+ barrel? I am asking becuase I really want to know. I am debating this with myself now as I begin plans to get a new rifle to carry into the mountains and fields. Especially if I throw a can on it a 22" barrel seems to be about perfect and I would only be giving up 120 fps over 26" barrel.Saw an ad today for a Springfield Waypoint bolt action. $2400. For a 20" barrel???? Cmon man!!!
I think the niche market or boutique market is more than 5% it has to be or they wouldn't be millionaires some of it's cuz some people have more money than brains.
No you don't need it 26-in barrel, for what I do It works out good I love all of my 28" barrels I also live in Nevada not a whole lot of trees to contend with and I can shoot a deer up to 1 mi. if I wanted to. A 20-in barrel works fine especially with a can you pick up a little more velocity a little more weight on the front of the gun. It is what works for you and what you want.If you planning to hunt and take game in the sub 550 yd range do you need a 26"+ barrel? I am asking becuase I really want to know.

Cap it and call it a dayMy ideal rifle is accurate, lightweight, and comfortable to shoot. So a Weatherby MV Backcountry in 280AI. Sub 6 lb and 24" barrel. Unfortunately has a threaded barrel and a 2" brake, which I don't want or need.
You're probably right! I do happen to be very fortunate and a lot of the people I know do shoot long range ((now))and a lot of them aren't willing to wait that would be the more money than brains part and the don't practice enough they buy gunwerks, red Rock precision and best of the West. I will say I am getting a Revik PMR to add to my collection, Thank you Gunwerks.I agree with everything you say, but the 5% thing. If you think about it, 5% of a niche market is still a lot. There's 330 million Americans, estimates say 100 million to 150 million are gun owners. Let's be safe and say 100 million Americans are gun owners. So at 5% that's still 5 million niche gun owners. I shoot with a lot of people and have seen a lot of custom guns. I have never seen a full custom gunwerks rifle. I would say they are the .1% of the 5%. That's why they charge 18 million dollars per rifle.
I also like really heavy guns 10 to 13 lbs. is perfect I can pack it all day easy for me to shoot in almost every shooting situation that I will encounter a lot of it has to do with preference. At 6'3" and 265lbs 10%BF and a freak for physical conditioning and fitness most all of it is easy for me.If you planning to hunt and take game in the sub 550 yd range do you need a 26"+ barrel?
