Was up HRE this week & had a fondle of their "Project X" rifles, they seem pretty good value & nicely put together
Anyone using one, set up & thoughts on them ?
Cheers

Good value....Hardy.?
Gonna have to Google this one.
I found a second hand one that didn't look as cool as the ones on the hardy website for sale for 4 grand.
What price does a Ram driver call good value?
$6750 , I don't think thats bad value for a semi custom rifle, with integrated rail, carbon stock & barrel , case & a factory fitted suppressor.
https://www.hardyrifle.com/project-x-stock-rifles
I know that they had issues in the past but by now I'd say most of their made "in house" products would be pretty good, the only Hardy barrel I even had shot very well.
The cardon stocked Sako 90 I'm looking at is around that price with a standard steel barrel & no case or can, While I like Sako's I think they've priced themselves outta the market & their stock levels at NZ HQ is pathetic, who wants to wait months for a factory rifle in the very limited calibers they even make in the new 90 model.
I bet it would extract properly though!!Quote:

Is extraction even an issue when they don’t go bang 50% of the time?Quote:

The best value for money guns I've come across have been second hand Blaser on the forum.
Of the 50 plus sakos, I've had never had one not eject despite what you read on forums or miss fire.Quote:

There’s no such thing as too many Sakos
Can’t speak for the project x but the hybrid I got a few months back is farking mint, absolutely would recommended if you’re wanting to spend that sort of coin. Can’t say I’ve had any of the rifle or service issues @Kelton is speaking of, service has been outstanding. I know they test fire everything before it leaves the shop these days so not sure how those issues have come about. Interested to here the full story though!
Same shit just switch barrel far better rifles for the money ie a t3xQuote:

I had 4 rifles all with flash scopes, suppressors and other bits. Sold all of that and bought a hybrid with two barrels to replace the rifles I actually used, kept the flashiest scope and was left with cash in the hand to buy other toys. And now when I want another calibre it will cost me roughly the same as a tikka and I’ve already got the flash scope, suppressor and other bits to go on it..
Beware of the man with just 1 Tikka because he knows how to shoot it.Quote:
