Thanks. I will pass that onto him as the last thing one needs is trouble from 12000 miles away.

He has been about 70/30 HS Precision's way and one reason being they have an import agent in Australia and that agent is the biggest importer of gun gear into Australia. They have been doing Weatherby for the last 25 years.

Hey Mike, Any factory made rifles that you would recommend to a Beginner?

Allen- I posted this on the other Echols thread-
I spoke with three D'Arcy Echols rifle owners today (Allen, I'll get around to you last to shore up any thoughts or comments)- all of them 100% satisfied and in love with their rifles.

I will meet with a current owner of several of D'Arcy Echols' rifles next month- he just so happens to be passing through my Province on a Caribou hunt. This will hopefully give me even more perspective.

Those I have interviewed echo much of what Allen has described to us. D'Arcy Echols' rifles seem to provide PERFECTION. Perfection which no other riflemaker can duplicate in a Glass rifle. 100% reliability (total peace of mind), Best of everything: best stock, best reworked action, best mag. box, best quality components and metalsmith work etc... were all things that I heard during the conversations.

Those high-level comments were normally backed by some discussion and examples that showed why they made those comments in the first place.

Interesting...
