Given the many Stock & Chassis manufacturers, MDT is a Juggernaut among them! I’m willing to bet Savage owners make up a considerable portion of their sales. It wouldn’t surprise me if Sales to Savage owners was the primary outlet of their business. KRG could have the same, but seems to me they have some “Yester-year” frame of mind calling the shots. They think all Savage owners are dumb broke kids or older men who just want a hunt’n rifle in 30-06. And for that, they are losing out big time. Because I know if the Whiskey-3 became available for Savage SA & LA, they would sell A-KAJILLION of them.
