I am not at all surprised.At the prices they charge, I am surprised that people actually buy their rifles.

One of the outfits that created the idea that shooting at extreme range is ethical.

[Redneck 7]

Plus now people are shooting the same distance with the same results with rifle and scope combos that total 1k. Or even 2-3K but still I’m not very surprised.

[waldedw]

At 9 - 10 K for a bare rifle I can see why sales are not brisk, especially with most gun manufactures offering models in the $1,500 - $2,500 range that will shoot well under 1 MOA

Not sure how you can complain about buying one of their rifles or systems when you spent how much on a 22?

When you buy a premium action, barrel, stock and trigger, the cost is about the same whether you purchase a rimfire, or a centerfire. And I paid half of what Gunwerks charges for one of their rifles. My full custom centerfire costs about the same, half of what Gunwerks charges for their rifles. You can pay a 100% premium to have the Gunwerks name, but what do you get for double the price?

[Jerry D]

As more people go with custon rifles your all in carbon fiber ti everything for 7k max probably.

5k builds a REALLY nice traditional rifle

Ive no experience with gunwerks but for the price, they should shoot 1/2 moa and be as good as all the best from proof manners mcmillian triggertech etc

I just read that Gunwerks is alive and well.

So I have to ask, was their emphasis on long range shooting a detriment to the hunting community?

I don't think it was a detriment at all ( not that I am a fan of Gunwerks or best of the West )as far as hunting in general goes. The gun haters always have and always will hate, if they do not have a reason they will find one.

I have no idea how you tied gun haters into this thread?

I thought you were talking about the public's view of hunters, not our own hunting community's view of long range kills.
As far as that goes we are our own worst enemies, it doesn't matter if it is bow hunting, long range hunting, sub gauge shotgunning, someone that doesn't hunt like that will be opposed to it!

Not in my opinion

Fantastic news!

You guys are all clearly full of feces. Wasting your money on Vudoo-Gunwerks-Custom yadda yaddas.

If any of you had a bloody clue, you would buy a gently used Tikka rifle, a reliable shotgun of your choice, and a black lab pup from a top breeding for $2500. Then when ready, send him to be trained by a good pro trainer for 6 months, and you will have the dog of your dreams that will create a helluva lot more memories than a chunk of metal and fiberglass.

My real point is that these are all toys. Why argue over personal preferences?

As I read this, the smartest guy may be Marky Mark because he is spending his cash going to Russia to hunt moose, creating priceless memories. But again, that statement is based on MY likes.

Thanks everyone for not lobbing any real insults!!!

Now, back to the argument at hand...

But then I would be stuck with a lab. Better to let you pay the $2500, and you pay to have him trained, and I will stick to providing fields to hunt, where that lab can retrieve birds. Meanwhile, I will have my DD for upland hunting.

My pup was $2500, but I can't afford the pro, so I find outstanding training partners to work with. I will take my boy out twice today

One is never " stuck" if they choose a lab ,

I have the best of both worlds, my own DD for upland birds, and two hunting partners with labs for waterfowl hunting. We have every situation covered.

At least I'm not the only wingnut in the crowd who likes financially impractical guns. It's no different than someone asking if they'll save money reloading or what their name beside a big buck in a record book means to anyone in 50 yrs, or whether a 30-06 is a better gun than a .22lr or a 12ga. And then we all go out and expend ammo down range, it's just burning money, a perfectly normal human endeavour. One guy burns up a case of surplus ammo a month, another burns up the same value in a 50BMG in a day, another buys a jacked up pickup, another buys a Maserati, another buys a surplus jeep to fix up. And someone passes them all in a VW bug and don't give a damn about what they are doing or who they are.

I am with you on the dog. Even an untrained mutt will create more memories than “metal and fibreglass”. But if you are spending the kind of money they are discussing here, you can afford both the dog and the gun.

Cute little bugger.
