Well, what an interesting five years we've seen in Rimfire World. From the, "oh, that'll never work," to what is now the multitude of players in the "true-to-scale" market, I'm well into a really cool place made possible by an ability to fuel thoughts of "what's next?"
During the time I've spent away from the forums, I believe clarity has hit me square in the face. As such, I've been able to answer the above, very simple question with a very simple answer; "more of the same....only better." As I've looked back at what already could have been introduced as "the next generation of bolt action rimfire," I've recognized that everything happens for a reason. Also, a number of things have been left undone and faster twist barrels are at the top of my list. I'll pause for a moment to thank the many that have stayed in touch with me via PM to continue long running conversations on the fast twist subject. I'm also thankful to have various design constraints out-of-the-way and am really excited for an opportunity to test new boundaries.
A lot of you will ask, "what makes the next line better?" Well, I won't be talking about that just yet, but bear in mind that what the community is enjoying now started with my ears being wide open and mouth shut....and I've been listening all along. So, thank you all for being an incredible collection of serious shooters that, by your very willingness to participate, continues to fuel what happens around you.
Lastly, it brings me great joy to say, I'm back, and more serious and focused than ever to do something really cool....again. I'm sitting here in front of SolidWorks with various parts on the desk and loving what I'm seeing unfold in front of me....it's actually difficult to not say more than I am. But, you might remember the drip feeding that led up to a thread I started in August of 2017 that's now up to nearly 200 pages, 944,000 views and 10,000 replies. So, here we go....again.
