Not sure how many rifles of the 92 being built have shipped, only seen pic's of 3 , I believe. I guess the non TBH members got their rifles and ran. oh well, they look great

Actually 98 were ordered. This is a quote from a post Robert made:

"Well, here is the official recap as promised. Interesting numbers to say the least. The top 5 cartridges accounted for about 75% of the total builds ordered this time! 10 other cartridges made up the remaining 25%. There were a total of 98 orders placed.

Top 5:
#1 - 6.5 PRC @ 27.5%
#2 - 300 Win Mag @ 14.25%
#3 - 6.5 CM @ 13.25%
#4 - 7-08 @ 10.25%
#5 - 28 Nosler @ 9.25%"

I am willing to bet it is more like 2-3 per day.

[ColinR]

Ah that sounds much better.

[Phillip Fields]

There's been 2-3 a day going out for the past few weeks. Going to ramp it up for the next couple of weeks according to the current schedule.

Hopefully it's currently more than 2 3 per day.

[Stick1]

2-3 a day on average. Some days have hit 4

[Buzzsaw]

Good post! Actually, our output quantities are pretty steady day to day, it just so happens that the TBH builds are funneling through together right now so they will make up the majority of whats coming out. Our output averages about 1 rifle per 2 employees each day. So still lots of man hours going into each build. The only thing resembling a short cut in the build process is the fact that we are now 100% CNC instead of manual. That's been a huge time saver and a big help in maintaining consistently tighter tolerances. From the time a build drops into production it averages about 6 days to full completion. With all of these carbon builds bypassing the barrel fluting step, it shaves a day off the schedule and allows us to drop in an extra one here and there.
