If you can wait a few months just get a custom. X-Caliber's sale this weekend should put you in that same price range.
Not sure what WC is thinking with their unusual sales strategy.
I might should just do that, I had heard/read some pretty mixed reviews on X-Calibur a few years ago and kind of counted them out. Have you had good experiences with them? Thanks for the heads up on the 20% sale.
Maybe. But Bill Wilson has a ranch where he shoot’s pigs all year round, and he hunted with both barrels, and found the 18” mid gas better than the 18” rifle gas, and he hunts with a can.
So, there must be something behind it.
I wonder what those pigs taught him that Hornady/Proof/secret squirrel customer couldn't have learned during development? Apparently something no other 6ARC barrel manufacturers know as well.
When I finally got ahold of the customer service, the, the guy I talked to knew what I was calling about about 3 words in. Pretty sure I wasn't the only person they hosed that called to ask WTF. At any rate, from the conversation, it sounded like they sold many, many more of the Recons than they had... Maybe they'll take the hint and make what the customers want even if it isn't what "Bill prefers" (customer service's words).
