So, Noveske was simply a "mass production" while his is "hand-crafted".

John was a guy full of character, accomplishment, and success in his own style, which is not mine. However, the above quote from myself remains true. There is no other company in the industry making autoloaders the way I make them, where I designed the entire rifle and I machine just about every component on the rifles myself. I don't sub anything out, and I stand over the machines myself and I assemble them myself. Noveske does little to no machining of their components. It is an assembly shop, much like Larue and others. I have complete control over my designs, quality of processes, and how I choose to manufacture and improve my products. Others are greatly limited in this ability while they do not explicitly control manufacturing.
In that manner, I certainly stand apart from all manufacturers. Not to mention several inventions and the development of new platforms.
I have not put any other manufacturer "down" as you have suggested. Additionally, your empty insults have no purpose to further the legitimacy of this forum.
If you have a consistently sub .75moa rifle then do the shootout challenge and post your results. And if you bothered to read and understand my above post, I referred to the bell curve... You obviously do not understand what that means; in no way did I say that there does not exist an auto-loader that is not consistently sub .75moa, they do exist. I said that *on averages* (that refers to a production quantity of rifles from the same manufacturer), the top of the bell-curve will not be below .75moa; a few rifles will be left of and a few rifles will be right of the median. GA's bell curve median stands on the .75moa marker, granted... that is based on the handful of rifles I have seen reports on.
The primary purpose of why I am even entertaining this topic, is to explain why customers can (and often do) get significant accuracy results when comparing two of the same rifles from the same manufacturer. Explains that while one GAP-10 couldn't get under 1", another gets under .5". It is foolish to expect every rifle from a manufacturer to shoot the same as the next.
I bring technical and informational discussion to the table, and do my best in attempting to answer common questions within this community. While you only attempt to bash, denigrate, and insult your way into a position of authority over a topic. With that said, you should be banned from the forum for violating policy.
