Stiller Exiting Centerfire Action Market

Not sure if this has already been written about here, but Jerry has sold off the centerfire business to focus on rimfire and semi-retirement.

"Effective a few weeks ago, I have sold the centerfire business to another party. I have retained the rimfire competition business and will run it under the Holeshot Arms banner. All future issues, purchases, parts needs, warranty etc will be through Holeshot. The email is [email protected] . I am still working for the new owner for 1 year.

I have built up quite a lot of parts and have retained and purchased more machines to build the current rimfires. All the 2500X series, current Lonestar II, future Lonestars with a new name, Tridents etc will be with me. I don't see any difference in availability for them. I have some help and plan on assembling another set in a few weeks or so. My life plan is to be semi-retired and just play with rimfires and cars/bikes after my indentured servitude period. I am keeping my building, so the address will not change. For the next year most sales will be through KSS. I don't have the time and resources for timely shipping. International orders will most likely still be through SPF if they are currently set up.

Wish me luck on the whole thing. Retirement may still be a 40 hour work week, hopefully it will just be doing stuff I love versus stuff I have to do. If that don't work out, I will try something else I very much look forward to this years shooting and more next year. I hope to look at a BR specific semi auto down the road as well as a few drag racing products."
 
Sold to Dale Trout. He got into gunsmithing after marrying a wealthy divorcee. I had some work done by him as he is local to me, there were issues with the work and although he never said he wouldn't "look at it" he gave me a rediculous lead time to "look at it" of 12 to 18 months...

Not it to mention some other bad information he fed me which I didn't bother wasting my breath to correct him.

In in short given my personal experience no stiller based rifles for me going forward. I am sure not everyone will be as unfortunate so take it as just one customer experience.

Well that's one thumb down.
I love my Stillers.
I wonder what this meants for pricing?
I think they are the best bang for the buck now.
