Cheap vs Expensive Hunting Rifles: Ya don't always get what ya pay for!

栓动步枪的横向对比，Backfire是做的最好的。



这个图很有意思。
太便宜的枪，削减成本太厉害了，问题多多。
比如，Savage的生锈问题。Mossberg的精度问题。Remington最低端步枪的工艺粗糙问题。Thompson Center低端产品线有一点良心，就有盈利不足的问题，被母公司Smith Wesson砍掉。
中档价位，如果销量大，单件成本低，能够保持一定的盈利，厂家能够持续生产，持续改进，顾客也能够得到问题最少的产品，这就是最佳区域了。
Ruger American Rifle就是这一档里最便宜的，当然有不足之处。感觉上，在Thompson Center Compass停止生产以后，Ruger American Rifle 就是销量最大的223以上口径的栓动步枪了。
Tikka 应该是这一档里价格高的，还是物有所值。
价位超过Tikka的，销量应该急剧降低，至少低于Tikka销量的十分之一。这么低的销量，本身成本就高，尤其是单件分摊的渠道成本，营销成本。没有特殊要求，一般枪友也不会去选高档的枪。

Backfire 频道还有很多视频，都很有意思。一个枪友，买的枪是有限的。市场上的大多数枪，看一看视频介绍就可以了。

我觉得汽车也一样，最高端的可能有很多features，但是可靠耐用性一般不是最好的。

我就好奇，
洋洋洒洒脑补一堆，但你是哪里想象出来compass要被砍掉的。

哦，不要说是因为有了compass ii

所以我一般是把枪的可靠性放第一，准确性放第二。

Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. Announces Intent to Divest Thompson/Center Arms™ Brand

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., May 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select Market: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, today announced that it plans to divest its Thompson/Center Arms brand. This decision is part of the Company's broader strategic plan that will focus on its core Smith & Wesson brands.

Mark P. Smith, President and CEO of Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc., said, "Thompson/Center is a beloved hunting brand with a longstanding heritage, and we are committed to ensuring a smooth transition. Thompson/Center Arms' loyal consumers should rest assured that they will continue to receive the world-class firearms, accessories, and customer service support that the brand has been known for since its founding in 1965.  We remain fully committed to the hunting and long-range shooting market, and with this divestiture we will be able to now focus on these categories under our iconic Smith & Wesson brand.  Additionally, this will allow us to immediately redirect manufacturing capacity to increase overall production volumes, allowing us to gain additional market share while simultaneously increasing profitability."

At this time, a buyer for the Thompson/Center Arms brand has not been identified; however, the divestiture is not expected to have a material financial impact on the Company's first quarter fiscal year 2022 results and the Company expects the divestiture to be accretive to the Company's full year fiscal 2022 through higher overall production levels, increased margins, and lower marketing costs. The Company states that this decision will not result in a workforce reduction as its flexible manufacturing model allows it to repurpose capacity immediately to other areas without a headcount reduction.

Interested parties should contact the Company via email at  investorrelations@smith-wesson.com or by calling 413-747-3448.

Smith Wesson 总裁的声明非常清楚，当初购买Thompson Center的时候，买来的设备，人员，设计IP, 都已经整合进Smith Wesson了，这些资产，正在生产和销售高价值的产品。Smith Wesson 唯一要甩出去的，是Thompson Center这个品牌，也就是这一个注册商标。

一年多过去了，Thompson Center 这个品牌还是没有人接手。

充分给大家展示了什么叫脑补。再问一遍，compass要被砍掉是出自哪里？

今天又看了一遍Backfire对八种750美元以下的栓动步枪的评测，发现一个有意思的细节。




三个评测人，用了三种子弹，包括比赛用的昂贵子弹，测试每一种枪。他们列出了最好的四发组，一百码距离。特意标明，不是平均，就是最好四发组。
Weatherby Vanguard 和 Tikka T3X SuperLite 成绩最好，0.7 英寸。四百多美元的 Ruger American Rifle 做到了0.86 英寸。
我自己用Ruger American Rifle 308， 俄罗斯钢壳子弹，最好成绩也有1.2 MOA, 而且出现了两次。比较大的可能，我的这支Ruger American Rifle, 制造工艺上没有问题，不是粗制滥造，逃过质量检验的产品。

即使对Tikka的精度，也要保持一个合理的预期。
