The post whore thread.

Do tell?

Advocating dumping something that doesn't meet the guaranteed standard to some other poor bastard without fixing it doesn't sound stand-up to me.

Why won't they just fix it? I'm assuming a new barrel would resolve the issue?

They say that the rifle meets their specification. I disagree.

My disagreement stems from looking at more than just individual three-shot groups.

Do tell?

Initially, the gun wouldn't get better than around a 3-4" groups. This was verified by the staff at Rifles Only. When I looked at the targets they provided to me yesterday, it appears to have a shifting POI (assuming the POA was consistent). LaRue used three shot groups. Everyone else on the earth uses five shot groups.

Each of their groups (save for one) showed sub-MOA, but the average was just barely under one MOA. They state that the rifle is within spec. I asked for 4x five-shot groups, as I think that will better represent what the rifle can do. I'm not happy with the gun because when I superimposed (digitally represented) the shots from their targets, using their ammo and their shooter and their optics under their conditions, the gun shows about a 3" grouping, which matches my original claim. I can't verify the conduct of the test, and at this point I don't even care to ask.

I got an email from Mark that stated, " The resell market is smoking hot for these rifles, as the wait is long..... we continue [to] do our darndest to maintain resell value on LaRue products." My assumption is that that's the official response to my request for 4x 5-shot groups as it's the last communication that I've received from LaRue Tactical.

Mark is concerned with his own resell value. Those are his own words. My perception of this is that he doesn't care about me being a happy customer or not. I'm not the highest dollar client that company has. Even still, I have since cancelled all orders from that company, and I will purposely dissuade folks that I care about away from that company. They aren't the only game in town and they dont provide anything that can't otherwise be gotten by a manufacturer/supplier that cares about happy customers.

I'm being very careful about how I phrase these things. I don't want to come across as a 'wretched A-hole'... I would rather be perceived as a 'concerned gun owner'.

That's bs man. I would have told him then he should give me my money back and sell it to someone who doesn't know better. What happen to the no bs policy?

I don't disagree. I'm just trying to be upset about it in a productive method.
