Nothing new for that site...
ETA...I don't really see Frank accepting the terms F&D win = free industry membership for life on Snipershide.com website, with full moderator privileges.
Frank Galli win = free FD308 rifle, 18" or 22" model. Really? Lifetime industry member? |

Sniper's Hide is one of the main places people go for information related to precision rifles, optics, loads, wildcats, etc.
There is a dedicated thread to Semi-Auto rifles, and I have noticed that F&D Defense is not welcome there for some reason that I am not privy to. Not sure challenging a dedicated Marine Sniper (who does precision rifle training as his primary focus in life) to a shoot-off is such a great idea, especially if he brings a GAP-10, and you bring an op-rod driven gasser. |

I also forgot to mention that it's probably the best place to stay abreast of what local, State, and National matches are coming up, as well as some of the coolest group buys.
For example, there is an awesome group buy going on right now for Thunderbeast Titanium suppressors. |

I have yet to see any precision groups Frank claims to be capable of. As he will not participate in his own forums standardized shootouts. He can bring his GAP10 or whatever else he can cobble up. If he shoots better than me with a semi-308, it wont be by much; and I will gladly and humbly shake his hand and provide him the winnings. For him its pretty much a free rifle and charity donation, right? So whats the big fuss? |

I've also enjoyed reading about the 6.5 SAUM, which will be my next rifle caliber. I've been following that 6.5 SAUM GAP thread as well. Freaking awesome. I own a .260 Rem AR10 that GA Precision built for me before the GAP-10 was around. It's a consistent .4 - .6 MOA rifle, for 5rd groups. Supersonic almost out to mile. What's not to like? :-) At Wyoming altitudes, the 6.5 SAUM is supersonic well past a mile. Heck, my .260 Remington gas gun is supersonic at a mile with the 130gr VLD fired at 2850fps. The SAUM pushes it to 3250fps at lower pressure. |

I can take negativity about me or my products, what I wont accept is flat out lies and unjustified disparaging behavior. For Frank to promote the bashing by leaving up negative posts and removing positive posts is simply unacceptable. Especially since I was paying him $3000 a year to be his customer and support his operation. Much more than he ever did for F&D. |

For him its pretty much a free rifle and charity donation, right? So whats the big fuss? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Sniper's Hide is one of the main places people go for information related to precision rifles, optics, loads, wildcats, etc. There is a dedicated thread to Semi-Auto rifles, and I have noticed that F&D Defense is not welcome there for some reason that I am not privy to. Not sure challenging a dedicated Marine Sniper (who does precision rifle training as his primary focus in life) to a shoot-off is such a great idea, especially if he brings a GAP-10, and you bring an op-rod driven gasser. I have never been through any sort of sniper training, never been to a match, and have a 20/60 shooting eye. I guarantee you at least one group will be under .4" I'm not saying I will win, but I do have about 15,000 precision rounds down many of my and others gas-guns over the past few years. Moreover, I have shot with several marine snipers, and they generally shoot no better than the next guy. What they do better is scope adjustments, reading wind, and judging distance. I have yet to see any precision groups Frank claims to be capable of. As he will not participate in his own forums standardized shootouts. He can bring his GAP10 or whatever else he can cobble up. If he shoots better than me with a semi-308, it wont be by much; and I will gladly and humbly shake his hand and provide him the winnings. For him its pretty much a free rifle and charity donation, right? So whats the big fuss? In. I've been getting curious about precision gas guns anyways. |

Look, I'm sure your product is good it's just that by making a scene like this, it can only go south for you. Ive had people telling me that for 6 years now since I started in my garage with a small mill, and F&D has only grown exponentially. I still don't see a problem. Frank wanted a shootout, and I'm here to give it to him. |

And? You buy a persons product based on how low a producer bows to you and others around you? If that's the case I bet you have a household full of crappy products. You think you will determine whether F&D succeeds or not? You have no effect. Because customers love the product I make and I treat them well. Quote HistoryQuoted:

So you decide to come here and post as a shill? You aren't helping your business pal. I'd never heard of you until today, and based on this thread alone I'll pass on your products. And?

You think you will determine whether F&D succeeds or not? You have no effect. Because customers love the product I make and I treat them well. QFP, and your last sentence and third and fourth sentences are quite contradictory. |

The product doesn't need help. We are perfectly happy with the position F&D is in with the overall marketplace. Though everyone understandably wants their rifles delivered faster, we have happy customers and many more who want to be customers when rifles are available to be shipped. We are just try to have a little fun here and settle some dust. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Dude you aren't helping your product at all. The product doesn't need help. We are perfectly happy with the position F&D is in with the overall marketplace. Though everyone understandably wants their rifles delivered faster, we have happy customers and many more who want to be customers when rifles are available to be shipped. We are just try to have a little fun here and settle some dust. Well, in just five posts you have guaranteed that I will never buy from you. |
