word is new Terminus Actions are coming soon, Premium 3 Lug actions . I believe 1 Aug
- Thread starter fmsniper
- Start date
Looks like Joel from Curtis is starting his own action company after the split from Curtis. This should be interesting.
I believe it was the end of April when Joel walked.
To be fair - IG post says "website launch is Aug 1"
not "actions released Aug 1"
not "actions released Aug 1"
Technically, the chance of seeing Haley's comet is rather high. Surviving til 2061 is the tricky part.

A little premature on the product launch. Be nice to have details, really any details, for any potential consumers to get excited about.
who wants to take bets on whether people get the terminus or archimedes in hand first?
Doesnt ted still owe people actions from 2 years ago?
Marketing skills are lacking. Nobody knows anything about the thing and they're launching in 8 days. Bold move.
here's the bright side. having actions ready to ship the day they're announced. that's something entirely new
That's certainly nice, but I agree with the above - they're certainly not doing themselves any favors in the marketing department.
No one has any idea what is coming out August 1st, so I doubt the check books will be coming out in any big numbers.
Some companies have done a horrible job on the flip side, that I agree with. But it certainly would be nice to have some specs, pictures and independent reviews prior to product launch. Rather than coming into it completely blind.
It’s called strategic ambiguity. And it creates curiousity, which is very powerful.
i'm with this. how many orders will he get the first day. how many first day nucleus and origin orders were there?
we know who it is and what he's been a part of.
lexus used the same strat in the early 90's not showing their cars in full during commercials
they waited too long and it backfired
timing is everything in marketing
creating curiosity is one thing but in a market already flooded with knock offs of knock offs its best served by throwing it all at the wall and hoping some sticks
if there were some different mfg techniques, materials specs etc, putting those out there with out any pics would create a ton of curiosity
all that aside, hoping for the best...and some pics

OK, but from a business standpoint, how long will i have to sit on the money (capital) spent on said actions before people get their opinions, reviews done to form those opinions, their hands on one, etc, before they decide to buy it? The interest peaking shouldve been done 2 or 3 months ago.
Rather than talking about the actual action, we are talking about marketing strategies.
Wish this thread would get nuked, and when more details are released, we can start a new thread and talk about the actual product.
Right now we are just wasting bandwidth IMO.

Meh, no matter how they would have done it there would be a hide thread complaining about it.
We should have some pictures and more info soon. I hope he succeeds, It would be an awesome throwback to master builders to have a whole rifle built by him with one of those insane wood stocks he does.

If the action is half of what his stocks are, he’s going to sell a boat load of them.
My wallet is terrified that him producing actions as well as those stocks means war
I'll be watching to see how this goes over for him. I guess we are all used to a little tease and really he didn't do anything wrong with this approach and doing this type of reveal almost needs to be perfectly timed. I know bergara teased a lot with their semi auto .22 and I think a lot of expectations were built up that were unrealistic or just not where the gun was headed.
I'm honestly not sure what there is to expect out of a new action? I'm not expecting any breakthroughs. Maybe that's a good thing...

I can't wait to see this action. Undoubtedly it's a big ask for a 'new' business to get all it's design, prototypes, testing and marketing aligned let alone manufacture but I have a sneaking suspicion the man behind Terminus is more than experienced.
It's already been mentioned who it is...and he's more than used to this
Curious if he starts to offer complete builds. Terminus action. His famous wood sticks. And keystone barrels to keep it local.
It's interesting to watch this thread and the varying degrees of responses. I know a few things on the subject.
Joel is a great American, and a friend. He is passionate about all things precision shooting. Anything he makes/touches is built to perfection. Because of this, Terminus will succeed. The nay sayers will soon see what Terminus is about. Joel is launching this the way others should have in the past, just have a little patience...

His wood stocks seem like works of art. Not sure how big of a role he had in Curtis Customs, but would hardly call those products perfection.
Interested to see what he comes up with on this product. I wish him the best of luck in his new endeavor.
All I can say is that the issues with Curtis actions will not be the issues with Terminus.
