TC's QLA problems are with conicals not sabots.
i prefer a rifle that will shoot an assortment of concials/sabots. And for the price that TC likes to charge, They should be willing to get their QLA problems worked out.
Remember not all QLA's interfer with the correct shooting of conicals - in fact I have not heard of any of these problems with the more recent TC guns... Although I agree with you I do prefer a non QLA barrel.
Price... that might be a problem for some maybe even most - but you are also paying for a lifetime warranty - not a "limited life time warranty." And for me this warranty has really gone the call - with no questions asked... they just fix a replace the items I have discussed with them. I guess that is also one of the reasons that so many people buy Leupolds vs other scopes.
Lastly remember,the majority of end users and states do not require a conical shooter.
