For weeks and weeks I have been fighting a silent battle in my head (couple of you know because we keep in touch) about offloading some guns again and making a transition heavier towards BRK, Daystate….I willingly took a loss on 3 very expensive semi auto guns as a trade in to buy a 👻 and a Pathfinder today because of my very pleasant experiences with the dealer time and time again. Everyone at the dealer is top notch. I willingly took the loss to avoid dealing with folks that don’t understand the beast and would blame me for something they did incorrectly which may cause a malfunction. Trading it in at least it’s peace of mind at a loss but that’s ok. Please stay neutral and please don’t name brands and dealers (no pointing fingers) This is just my personal experience. When you buy a BMW or a Mercedes you expect awesome service right ? Guess it depends on the day of the week. My BRK dealer is awesome no questions asked guess we’re going to be driving a Bentley (British gun) a lot more. If you are thinking about buying anything message me I have owned a ton of guns. I will give you my personal experiences with the whole package. At the end of the day you might as well buy a Yugo If the Range Rover isn’t going to come with great service and 100% be ready to use without oil leaks

@PasadenaMike, simply don’t be shy and post up “your” impressions… You purchased with your hard earned USD’s. So post up “your” impressions across “whatever” brands you’ve own and used. You would be doing an invaluable service to your fellow shooters. You paid, so your insights are valid. For those who can only afford “one” high tier PCP? Your insights are incaluable…🙏

Went to actually start packing my guns to to ship them for a trade in it’s almost next to impossible with time constraints. Oh well guess it’s not happening yet with 12-13 hour work days and busy home life. Reality sucks oh well. When do I do it at 4am wake up time or at night when the kids are crazy? Abort mission for now

Yeah, it's actually pretty difficult to ask you questions about guns that you're looking to, or have traded in to dealers...without knowing..."what"...gun, or guns that you've let go of !

The manufacturers that you have mentioned, have manufactured scores of different guns, there's no way for the possible buying public to know what it is that you have / had !!

Me for example, my crystal ball is in the shop for updates.

Its not about being an “expert” just a consumer whose paid big coin to play… There are expensive “lemons” and bad, after the sale service out there. Conveying that through use and experience is valid. Most enthusiast cannot afford to go through multiple high end PCPs. So insights by consumers/users are valuable insights… The “experts”? They be on YouTube…🙏 Those of you lucky enough to have used or owned multiple high end PCPs from different brands offer a unique perspective on the products. The filtering of all that consumer information falls upon the prospective buyer…

🤷‍♂️fellas take this with a grain of salt I’m just talking about my own one man Wolfpack experience that’s all. This doesn’t mean all guns and dealers are crap just because I’ve had negative experiences with dealers and or guns. 🧂🧂🧂I don’t bash brands or dealers by name that’s not cool to do these are still hard working Americans trying to make a living grumpy or not. I have just too many encounters with 🍋. I don’t tune, tinker or anything the guns just come to me as 🍋 topped with bad experiences with dealers. I’m not a mean dude so it’s uncalled for.

Why so cryptic? I'm reading between the lines here ....... You're moving on from the L2's and going to BRK's, right? If so you will have to get used to a better trigger and solid reliability, lol. I've had great dealings with AoA answering my questions, purchasing rifles/accessories and helping me troubleshoot a leak in real time on the phone. Good luck and enjoy the ride!

lol that’s how I roll. Everything stays put for now. I do own an Atomic right now and it’s solid. The L2s are great as well don’t get me wrong. There were several issues when new but being a super easy gun I fixed them but there shouldn’t be any issues . They’re all great shooters
