Not just talk, 6 rifles are being tested as we speak. Shooting 1/4moa groups out to 400yds. You're saying 1/4 moa right here in the previous post. It doesn't say "guaranteed". But what you are saying or implying (not just talk!) is that 6 rifles in testing are shooting 1/4 moa. If you have a rifle that will feed any AR mag and AI mags, shoots 1/4 moa, uses Bartlein barrels, and all for $999, I'll buy 10 of them right now. I have access to an 800 yard range and I load custom ammo as my job. I will be happy to meet you or have the rifle delivered to me for 1 week to put the rifle through it's paces. I'll give it an honest testing with top-notch ammo. My point is, I have shot hundreds of rifles for testing and load development. Most high end custom rifles come in at 1/3 to 1/2 moa in accuracy. Very few make the 1/4 moa accuracy threshold. And you have 6 of them at 1/4 moa. And lastly, if you do not know how to correctly make an accuracy claim by stating it shoots 1/4" moa (inch and moa together), how are you sure it will actually do it. I am sure your buddy has a great system going for him. I fully support companies stepping out and creating new products that no one else has. I've been on the internet since Hitler was a Private. So " 1/4" moa" claims with the system described has a lot of fluff and hype to it with no backing (yet). If you send me a rifle for testing, and it meets the 1/4 moa accuracy claim for $999, I will be happy to eat crow. Until then, it's just a lot misstated fluff. My $.02 until I get a rifle. Agree talk is cheap. But even if it's 3/4 Moa that would still be a great deal at 1k. What I don't see possible is the price not the accuracy. The barrel retails for 350ish. Add in a smith time, action, and a stock. No manufacture that I have ever met will design and make something for that little profit. The rpr has set the market at 1200-1500 area.

Make that 700, Chad. I was out Sunday and I'm pretty sure there was some sort of Romulan shield protecting the 800. P_102 I fought that same shield on Saturday Chris you're not alone. LOL I hit 800 after both of you left, Saturday. I don't know what yall's problem is.

2. I can't believe I've read all 6 pages. I approached this topic like a basket ball game. Watch the first few minutes (post) and the last couple of minutes (post). I'll believe the subject matter when I see it!

Dang, tough crowd. Let's at least see what the rifle is about before we take shots at the guy. If they're getting some 1/4 MOA groups in testing, good for them. I'm glad to see competition in this market.

I'll be watching this and be buying one if all he says is true. My last custom gun, the bartlein barrel alone and raw set me back $400.
There is just no way someone can produce a rifle as described and sell it for a grand retail and stay in business. Just not possible. If 999 is retail the manufacturer has to be selling it for $600 or less to the vendor in order for the retailer to be able to mark it up enough to make a profit at 999. That means the manufacturer has to produce the entire rifle for $300 a pop to make a profit when they wholesale. The business just don't add up.
