Well can't remember if I noted that the third MR arrived to replace the second which was chipping. Well the third rifle was worse then all put together!!!

I was definitely besides myself when I opened up the box and started a look over. I figured out that i needed to get with someone higher up in the food chain, like the CEO of the company. I did my research and got Mr. McGarity's name and address and started to write him a snail mail letter. He had no publicly listed email. But I did think I should get back with the guy in customer support to let him know what I was up to. Long story short within a few minutes I received an from the CEO with a bundle of apologies. He explained that they would get to the bottom of the problem. All I had heard for the past seven months. I was beginning to believe I was back to barking up the wrong tree.

Within a short period of time the customer support guy got back to me an offered to refund the cost of the MR or would I like to upgrade to an Apex model? I did all the FFL paperwork and am now the proud owner of an Apex ML 50 cal.

It is a handsome rifle and looks and feels the same as the MR. Of course it is heavier by a pound I think. Can't wait to get it to the range and ring it out. got a bunch of powder and bullets to try.

I am really sorry that the MR didn't work out. I had a lot of time invested in it and it really grew on me. With the exception of that stupid weather coating, it had a lot going for it. It is by far one of the most accurate inline ML rifles I have ever fired. What a shame.

Oh well, until the range report guys
