I agree with Mike, but I also am gratified to see someone make something besides money in this country. I'm sad our manufacturing base has shrunken so badly and this gun is a nice value product. Mr. Galazan has a tough clientel, but he knew that going in. His reputation sets the standard and for $2.5-$3k I would expect the gun to look right and from what I've seen, that seems to be the case so far. Feature for feature with case and accessories, what else competes with this offering? These plaintive RBL threads remind me of 10 guys watching 1 guy dig a hole and telling him he isn't doing it right.
