Re: East Ridge Gun Company ????
I just shot my new 'Big Bertha' model East Ridge .50 last weekend for the first time. I am very happy with the purchase. It is a shellholder type action, which some people don't like but I prefer for the positive extraction. Plus it is the lowest entry cost complete rifle available with a 'match' barrel and chambering options other than the standard military chamber.
The State Arms/ERG rifles have a reputation for being accurate. I've only got 40 rounds down the pipe in poor shooting conditions, but it was showing sub moa potential(at 550 yards) with a starting load using the 750 Amax.
Will he have a chance to shoot the rifle before purchase? It should sell itself with good ammo. It would be worthwhile to load or buy some.
