Others Any chance we will see a AAA field target model?

Love the quality of these guns and would love to shoot one for field target. I’m hoping Tom will make guns for field target. The market seems wide open for a real quality made field target gun. Thomas is the only one I can think of that sort of hangs with AAA when it comes to quality.

.22 isn’t good for field target because it doesn’t have a flat trajectory at 12 fpe, or 20 fpe. A one peace chassis is best for field target without a buffer tube.

Tom brought a .177 prototype to a field target match in New Mexico 4ish years ago.

It had some very interesting/promising design features. I spent some time shooting it that day and was impressed with much of it.

Since then I've had a handful of very brief interactions with him, touching on the topic of a .177 production model. The problem seems to be that he's a victim of his own success. Ie there's so much demand for what he's already making in the larger calibers, that he simply doesn't seem to have the time for the R&D necessary to make a .177 ready and worthy for prime time. And Tom being Tom, he won't release a gun til it meets his standards.
