I just finally read his statement about the mishap with the savage rifle and Toby Bridges. I think its pretty funny that when something like this happens to a gun he likes and endorses as he states in his opinion it was purposely blown up. But when this happens to another brand its totally the guns fault. He states right there in his statement he has exceeded the safe limit load many times. Boy thaths real smart. So if I load up my optima with a 150grns of loose 777 and it blows up its not my fault. You would have to be crazy to listen to this guy. He is a real piece of work. Lets hear your responses positive or negative.
Do you really think any ML rifle tech like Randy or Tobytest their rifle barrels & actionsbeyond the recommended grainswithout any body protection (or) a contraption that allows them to remain a safe distance away? Many use a face shield and a chestvest while testing. Was Toby hurt? Did Randy test those Savages with full body exposure?.... heck no!
So if you load up your Optima beyond the recommended loads without any protection makes youyour ownreal piece of work. Don't blame Randy when a question/opinion is raised to him later -on whether the gun was purposely blown up. He answered the question in the manner the question was raised... ie..... "
Randy.... in your opinion, was the rifle barrel purposely ruptured?
Boy thats not real smart if you think otherwise!
