Some people like getting "range praise" for the looks of their rifles. They buy it. For those, ability is way down the list of importance...probably because they can't buy it. .

And you won that stock, you didn't buy it. Double fail.

That's exactly what I was thinking when Randall told me they only sell those stocks with the gun. I personally wouldn't use that stock since the rest of the rifle would be a fake.. No sense making the gun look like something its not. What are you gonna chamber that one in? 6.5L? POSER!!

Lol.
Having a good loking rifle doesn't preclude it from being a precision rig. If somebody has the money and wants a precision rig that looks like a work of art, go for it! I'm not going to hate on them because they have different taste or a higher bankroll than me. Nobody is saying that they should buy a good looking rifle that shoots like crap. If you take two barreled actions equal in performance and quality of parts, the simple fact is that the one with the name brand who took more time address the aesthetics/detail of the rifle will fetch higher dollar. Doesn't mean one is better than the other.. it's just simply more desirable to a greater number of people. Seems pretty common sense to me. |

I shoot it thumb pointing forward along the side of the stock. That way is MUCH faster to run the bolt. I almost look like Ryan and Tony.

I agree. I also feel like I'm trying to drive the rifle too much when I have my thumb in the thumbhole. Now I barely have my thumb on the stock.

I just feel like sh** knowing my Randall rifle won't fetch top dollar on the hide.

Especially after the 8 months you waited for him to complete the build and the extra $2k you shelled out to have him coat every thing in FDE krylo-cote.

wow...this has been the most lively thread in this sub forum for almost a year....Always good when Pete, Randall and Ryan get going...Just sorry that Charlie and Kurtis didn't chime in...
We went from what is a better choice 260 vs 243 to do we need to segregate calibers to which rifles are better than others based on who built them.....was fun....All I know is that my rifle out shoots me any day, its 308 and I would never think that I would finish at or near the top of a competition...and my rifle was built by someone who never even thought of himself as a gunsmith.... And the best thing of it all...I am sitting on the edge of Big Bear Lake, its approx 80 degrees and I am going fishing..... |

Randall,
I love the sentinel stock. Ryan, Frugal, cheap, it's all the same. I won't go down that path again, but you know the incidents. That's between you and I. Personally, I give my wife money whenever she wants. She's my wife. A buddy of mine even borrowed 20grand from me a week ago. He's a buddy. ---side note. I love my rifle. The ranges that I go to public or not, I don't go show off my rifle. But, people do come and look at it. Piru, ASR, my pop's place. I still have the same amount of fun. I do it not for others, but for myself. I work hard for my money, and sometimes I spend it on my toys. It does give me self gratification knowing that I do have a work of art. Karl is an excellent smith in my book. I wouldn't consider getting one built by another other then Terry Cross. I'm actually on his "list." |
