Well I wouldn't get to offended by a web based email distribution message, it wasn't a personal letter by any means much more of a press release statement. If they have your email contact info and your in the database you got the message and yes it will be non-reply. They couldn't handle that much mass data transfer, it's one way communication. All big companies and and governments use this for communication.
My hat is off to anyone who leads their company to meet consumer demand and build products to be a profitable company and keep employees in business. You can live or die by the sword and when you see an opportunity, you better capitalize on it or someone else will.
The biggest issues with the wood stocked rifles is when newbies get one they don't want do do anything with it but look at it? It's too pretty to hunt with! LOL - I have a safe full of guns my boys will probably never take to the field! How to you justify building tons more of those! It's good conversation piece, I thought it was cool that adam acknowledges and loves the history and legacy of his families company, but times do change. My encounters with his company has always been met with class and that means people enjoy where they work. That speaks volumes to me;
Cheers
I too love wood stocks, however, only have 4, a German MK V, 2 M70 Classic and a Ruger M77. All the rest are synthetic and stainless so I can take them aywhere, knock them about and not worry about the scratches on the stock.
Back to WBY, anytime I contacted them on the customer support site, they have always been very responsive. I don't have any issues with that. I had requested hitory on my rifles and had it within 2 hours. That was impressive.
Finally, I just don't like anyone sending me a mass email I can not reply. I usually unsubscribe after that. But thats just me.
MKV and M70 are my favorite actions. Unless I start buidling rifles, I can't see myself getting a Remington style. Thats just a personal preference.
Cheers, or in our case, Giggem Aggies! WHOOP!
