Couldn't write it any better lol.
If I didn't know better I would say the CDG action is the most elaborate trolling of a company in the history of trolling.

Oh God the mental images oh God why!? lol.Im not a fan of Bob and could care less what kinda stuff he does.
The other dude chooses to work for him.
my give a dang ran out.
The dumpster fire keeps my hands warm for a bit.
Not sorry for the visions in your head.
Its really just a 3 way circle jerk in an ice bath, post “weight loss workout”
Just close to a punchbowl.
I never heard of them till this whole thing. but poaching in my mind is a big deal. kinda sucks they had to be the ones to buy defiance.
Really? I was told previous orders will not be honored.
Did you pay for it?
They said orders with a deposit down would honor the old price. Orders with no deposit pay the new price
Nope. Im a dealer. I had to call all my customers that actions were on order for and tell them that there previously quoted $995 tenacity is now $1595.
I understand that sucks. Like I said earlier in this thread the Tenacity might as well go away no one will buy them at the price of an Impact. I’m guessing they were losing their ass on that action and said we are either going to make money on selling them or not sell them at all.
Yep. That sucked calling everyone. But at the end of the day he owns the company and can do whatever he wants.
Now taking Reservations.... not the order kind, the Native American kind with big elk...
On another board, the new guy running things laid out the problems the company was facing. The Tenacity seemed to be a large part of their issues.
Like when Ole and Sven were selling hay for $10 a bale less than they paid for them. Ole said “Sven, I figured out our problem! We need a bigger truck!”
Just checked my email and had one from Defiance - they are now excepting new orders again so it would appear the price increase worked
I think they haven’t updated the entire site. The main Ruckus page has the new price, but when you select a submodel, it’s the old price.
If they could get the ruckus down to 1500 and dlc the bolt it could work
Defiance- Bob Beck, Eric Stecker and Black & Decker; we got you covered, brass, bullets, actions and real estate.

Do you currently offer those actions under your flagship defiance name?
Or was this in reference to actions you make for your sister company and others?
If they are not offered under the defiance brand is there any consideration being given to introducing them to the defiance line?
Many are under our Defiance brand, with almost every model having a hunting style configuration, however, many are also variants for builders under their brand. The only "sister company" that exists is BadRock Rifles, and that brand has mostly been focused on more competitive shooting than hunting.
Oh gosh... Frank has mentioned in his new podcast (& confirms in thread) that The Extreme Group now has their eyes on Proof Research.
“With 100% truth and honesty, Proof is not for sale. We have been hearing the rumor as well. Our majority owner and board has had offers from big companies in the defense space over the past few years and we have always turned them down. We have made it clear, this isn’t for sale. Our CEO and I even addressed it directly with Bob Beck at SHOT show.”

"We are losing money on our barrels, here is a 50% mark up"
I can see it now.
I can see it now.
Tbh I’m glad it’s proof
Give me one major barrel maker to roll the dice on never being able to buy another and I would pick that one.
This is not to say I won’t, I’d buy a mcmillan right now if it fit my needs for a project.

What thread?Oh gosh... Frank has mentioned in his new podcast (& confirms in thread) that The Extreme Group now has their eyes on Proof Research.
Yep and they price themselves above what a gunsmith can cut you a prefit for on a cut rifled blank and ship it to you in a week and nobody buys proof again lol.
Everyday Sniper Podcast SHOT Postmortem
Back from SHOT SHOW this weekend and I wanted to give you my take on SHOT SHOW 2023. Bit of a different show for me this year, the addition of the Cesar's Forum and having skipped last year, it was a weird layout for me. Plus only going Tuesday to Thursday meant I had a short week to work with...
www.snipershide.com It isn't just that Proof makes their own blanks, they are probably the largest "gunsmith" for our sport.
Oh good. I heard the rumor and was worried they were buying a good barrel company like Bartlein or Krieger.Oh gosh... Frank has mentioned in his new podcast (& confirms in thread) that The Extreme Group now has their eyes on Proof Research.
I wish they had their sights on Benchmark, Hawkhill, Krieger, etc. Leave Bartlein and Proof alone.
Stock, check… action, check… barrel? Possibly Check
Stand by for over priced cookie cutter bullshit rifles that are “1,831.43 yds out of the box” riddled with QC issues and customer service that acts like you’re a burden when you inevitably need to call.

gunwerx called...they want their M.O. back
My thoughts exactly…
What scope company will they buy?

Every rifle is cookie cutter
There are
4-5 action companies worth building off of
4-5 barrel mfg worth building off
4-5 stock/chassis worth building off
It’s great for us the consumer as we get great product, but nothing is different anymore
Except ARC.
On a long enough timeline, the demand signals of use and what the market demands make cookie cutters of many things. AR companies and Glock imitators abound.
-Stan
I agree, I think the issues pop up when they try to pump them out at scale. I’m just being flippant.
