I talked with guys who drive those types of decisions, and what I was told was like a slap in the face.
"We'll probably do a 6.8 before we do a Grendel." Probably the stupidest thing I heard in the whole show so far, considering they already have the bolt face, and the superiority of the Grendel, especially in that action since you no longer are limited by AR15 .223 bolt geometry and lower pressures. A 6.8 in the CZ makes about zero sense.
Proving once again that gun manufacturers don't listen to the market...They run a survey, the survey is dominated by people wanting the Grendel, they don't do it. Then people talk to them that are in the know and they still do something ridiculous!
I'm wondering if we can talk Savage or maybe Mossberg into building one. Mossberg has a cool new action/stock that accepts AR mags, which would be seriously cool!!
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
