Canuck32700 Nitro,
Are you sure they are in AB last time I checked they were from Winnipeg.
As for their guns, I have a friend who has one and he is nothing but happy with it.
I am not sure how much they are doing now for individuals since they have that big Canadian military contract to deal with. If I remember correctly it was for 1500 rifles of the timberwolf in 338 Lapua
If you have that much to fight for, then you should be fighting. The sentiment that modern day ordinary Canadians do not need firearms for protection is pleasant but unrealistic. To discourage responsible deserving Canadians from possessing firearms for lawful self-defence and other legitimate purposes is to risk sacrificing them at the altar of political correctness."

CanuckThey are from Winnipeg. They make great rifles but their customer service has gone way downhill since they took that big military contract.
Cheers

Dark TemplerCanuck,
Is right on the money. Like anything once things are rushed everything goes a little downhill.

Wooly ESSI think it's great that we have a rifle manufacturer in Canada, and that they are deemed reliable enough to build military arms. A military contract is just what is needed to fully establish this company. In the short term civilian service may suffer, but in the long term we all benefit from having a well established, quality rifle maker in Canada.
The final test will be if civilian customer service returns when the military job is complete.

Dark TemplerShould take a look at Rocky Mountain Rifles at Corlane sports in Dawson, BC. Incredable service I have found with them.

A. FlemingTim and Rod (RMR) make descent hunting rifles, but I wouldn't send a serious long range rifle their way. Now if you wanted a 5lb 30-06 on the other hand....
