First there was just one show "Best of the West". Now it's a 3 way split.

Did they just not play nice together or what?

I was wondering about that as well
Do you have any insider information ?

Spill it here

I could only imagine, a lot of those guys have moon size egos. I have to laugh when they mention their "pro staff"!

Best of the West/Greybull Precision/Long Range Pursuit drama?

Do a search.


Long Range Shooters,

Since founding Gunwerks, and laying the groundwork for Huskemaw Optics in 2006, I've worked hard to develop unique LR products that work. Usually just incremental changes, but we made a good start. I also worked very hard to influence much of the long range shooting content at The Best of the West. Now with our new GSeven line of products we will focus in on "the first shot". As of February of this year, I no longer own any part of Best of the West or Huskemaw Optics. Huskemaw Optics will continue to support BDC turrets by licensing Gunwerks’ technology.

First off,in the GSeven product line, is the G7 configuration of the Nightforce NXS. One thing I have learned over the years (and several hundred rifles), is that when it comes to rifle scopes, there’s pretty good most of the time, and then there is 100% "Built for the First Shot". That’s what the new G7 scope (built by Nightforce) offers. The new hand held ballistic program with G7 BC's, Multiple Winds, Trajectory Validation, and Shoot to Range, has been in the works for a few years, in fact the core algorithms are part of our rangefinder project (production as early as October) that allows BC, MV and other inputs to fully tailor the ballistic calculations (read: full ballistic solution). It is also used in our new online program at ballistics.gseven.com. Finally, we will be offering custom BDC turrets that feature BOTH MOA/click divisions AND custom BDC for hasty and deliberate shooting.

Gunwerks has also introduced several new models in its LR series, from Carbon barreled sheep hunters to a 500 yard muzzle loader. The new LR-1200 is geared specifically towards the LRH crowd. At Gunwerks, we don't just build the most complete long range hunting rifles, we also rework customer actions as a platform. Pricing on budget packages is competitive with anyone, but remember with our LR packages we supply the entire system from ammo to optics and all the break-in, validation, setup, and testing work associated with a tuned long range system. Gunwerks even offers two day long range shooting courses through out the year.

We do have a new TV Show coming, as well. Gunwerks will be the title sponsor for Long Range Pursuit. The first show airs in January on Sportsman Channel on Thursday and Friday nights. More shooting, and less goofing. Long Range Shooting is a serious pursuit.

Here is one with 44 pages pretty much telling John Burns what they think.

Who is the bad guy?

Or crybaby?

Hard to decide. John Burns used to live and work here with a machinist I know very well. He knew his stuff about barrels and putting the math and material together for long range shooting, but he also made sure you knew that he knew. And if you never asked, he would tell you anyway.

I am 30 pages into it. Haven't got to the seperation between the 3 companies yet.

John Burns does a good job of keeping to the high road.

This is like watching dalls !

Read most of it.

Much less interesting than I thought it would be.

I figured there would be tons of drama between the 3 camps. At least on the surface, I don't see that.

Longrangehunting.com also had a big thread, I'll dig it up tommorow. I have not read it yet.
