Your only complaint is caliber selection? Saw these a couple weeks ago , nice looking rifles but my complaint is a 3/4" MOA guarantee for a $1600+ rifle . Many cheaper rifles that will shoot better then that . If it was a 1/2" or less MOA I would jump all over a Carbon barreled 6.5 for my daughter .

3/4 MOA as a guarantee is pretty impressive, not sure many guys are "building" $1600 guns with a 1/2 minute guarantee. Knowing how terrible of shooters most people are, I'd say they are putting themselves in position to deal with a lot of complaints even if the gun shoots quarter minute.

It seems most 1/2" guns are pushing $4k anymore. $1600 for a 3/4" gun that could probably shoot better with handloads doesn't seem that bad to me.
