I bought a Tactical Rifles M40 .308 with 26" barrel & manners stock from the original owner. For some reason the guy had paid $5500.00, waited 2 years, then never even shot the rifle! I paid him $3500.00 for it, then added the Nightforce NXS 5.5x22 scope with MOAD reticle. Broke it in with the one shot one clean for first 10 shots as rec'd by the company, then followed rest of breakin procedure. Guess I got lucky, because the rifle is a tack driver and an amazing pleasure to shoot. It has the all weather finish done in flat dark earth and I have to say I love it. This must be an early gun, because it sounds like the company has been flushed straight down the toilet. I am one lucky SOB to have got a beautiful sniper's dream rifle at over $2000.00 below cost with no wait!!
