i've read a few reviews of them. they seems to be good rifles, accurate (MOA @ 100yds)and easy to back. I like how you can switch the barrels for different calibers. Its a neat idea, but too pricey for me. If i wanted to be able to switch calibers, i'd just buy a T/C Encore, buy extra barrels, and put a serious scope on it, and still save a few thousand dollars. cyberhick | ||

I'm sure these are good rifles, but they're just too off-beat for me. AD | ||

Patrick Smith is an innovator. I've posted at his BB for a long time, and enjoy hearing his perspective. As the founder of MountainSmith Packs, he was a leader through the 80's and 90's in backpack design. His sleds and tents are wonderful. I've not handled his rifles, but they strike me as a good premise taken to an extreme... and a darn ugly one at that. Besides all that, I'll admit I truly dislike Remington rifles. While I delight in light backpack gear, I think with a rifle a balance has to be struck in order for the weapon to be portable yet "settle down" for long shots. Personally I like a rifle for "mountain/backpack" use in the 7 to 8 lb. range while being slightly muzzle heavy. There's no way on God's good earth I'd plunk down that much money for his rifle... I'd go with Mel Forbe's NULA for less $. Now there's a well conceived, "balanced", light rifle. Brad [This message has been edited by Brad (edited 08-09-2001).] | |||

They probably drive tacks all day but I don't think I could put with all the weird looks these rifles would draw. | ||

Jordan, unrelated to you question, but I have a bunch more data on the 257DGR on a page on my web site, www.duanesguns.com As you notice the name of the site has changed. I have looked at the rifles in question, and they definately different, not sure if I could get used to the stock. | ||
