$999How much were the Archimedes going for?
You are not missing anything. Infact, right on point. The Arch is a better, more feature rich action. Only limitation is .585 BF.A new arc action wasn't in the budget this July, but I have decided I think I'd like to go ARC when I finally step up to a custom action from my Tikka.
It's actually the only custom action that seems like a justifiable purchase over my Tikka for my hyper nerd engineering brain.
I'm curious- for the folks that ordered a mausingfield over a Archimedes what the thought process is there?

That's not to suggest that I don't think the Mausingfield is awesome, just not sure what it offers over the arch other than cool Mauser progeny style points (and maybe that's enough)?
Use case for me is a 70 / 30 range / hunting rifle in the 10-12lb range running aics mags.
Maybe the "in the hands" difference is obvious- That's easy to miss reading from a spec.
Cool, thanks for confirmingYou are not missing anything. Infact, right on point. The Arch is a better, more feature rich action. Only limitation is .585 BF.
Only for the 4th.Do they only do this for the 4th or can I get a Xmas gift for myself?
Although I did notice that if you are looking for an Archimedes it’s only $100 more than the sale price.Till next year I wait!
When did that happen?! @karagias are y’all blowing them out for a substantial revision?Although I did notice that if you are looking for an Archimedes it’s only $100 more than the sale price.
Unless you're running a 384 / 473 switch barrel rig and need quick toolless bolt head swaps or a 338 compatible action, it seems like the clear choice.
Saving $100 for a nucleus or spending $500 more for the Mausingfield seems hard to justify.
Yep. I just looked at my previous invoices.It looks like the Xylo received a similar price reduction as well. Or am I misremembering the price?
Eh, idk I'd say there's a good chance they've streamlined production effeciencies to the point to where they can lower their prices and still hit the required margins.Yep. I just looked at my previous invoices.
Xylo was 1299.00 now 1099.00
Archimedes was 1399.00 now 1099.00
Doesn't leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling, that's for sure.

Typical lean startup adjustments.
He's been around but until his latest gen of stuff it wasn't streamlined. Now a healthy amount of the parts are interchangeable between his lines which means he needs less inventory to offer the same level of support, less inventory/overhead means reduced costs on his part not to mention tooling batch production ect. Until Ted conforms though it's all speculation. And in the grand sHe's been around for a while, or at least a long way from start-up.
Ahh shit you're right. I underestimate the ability people have to look a gift house in the mouth and then complainDo you not remember everyone that bitched when Minox did their super sale.
"your hurting the value of my investment"
I might be out of line by being a little bent, but to buy a chassis and action, then find out the price of both drop by 20% in less than 60 days will do that to most folks.Ahh shit you're right. I underestimate the ability people have to look a gift house in the mouth and then complain
I fully M-BRACE Ted's decision to only run a sale on Independence day.
Black Friday splits discretionary spending half dozen ways. On 7/4 it's all ARC. It's genius + there is no better holiday to celebrate & exercise 2A.
Most American gun owners will screech “buy American“ until they don’t get their special day/veterans/LE/reserve EMS discount from an American owned and operated firearms business. The business operation of any firearms related business should just to build in a 10% up charge and then discount it when the GIBMEDATDISCOUNT crew appears.Don't be a poor just buy when you want it
