let's talk about accuracy

You can choose to accept this or not, AG, but I have never known this to be the case. I test most of the new guns and I've toured many factories many times, but I've never known there to be a batch of guns specifically assigned for testing. It sounds like it should happen, but in my experience, it doesn't. Just saying.

I have never douted your statements sir but I have seen ' review ' guns in the hands of others that have been full of scratch to the stock meaning that the guns had been going around. For what its worth and I am not just saying this, I do take your reviews very seriously as it is obvious that a process of evaluation is being carried out and it shows in the text of the magazine but this is by no means a universal practice.

Or that they'd been used as demo guns at shows. Yes, really. Several major companies have sent me rifles to test that made their debuts at shows. The first HW100 I tested was an ex-demo rifle. Yes, some rifles may go from tester to tester, but they're not specially prepared; the company simply doesn't want to have another rifle it can't sell.
