Weatherby is moving

[Hogpatrol]

Look at all the manufacturers that have moved to SOuth Dakota. Weatherby was considering moving to Missoula, Mt in the late 90’s but decided to stay put. There are several states that have serious pro gun/pro business attitudes and tax rates. MT, WY, SD and TX all open their arms to the firearms industry. Kimber already has their warranty people in MT. You still ship guns to Yonkers NY but all the RMA’s are issued from MT. I’d like to see all these anti gun states realize the lost revenue!

Those states that are anti-gun could care less if those industries move. To them it's all about "principle". It's what their voters want, tax base damage and job loss be damned.

I agree, but revenue is revenue every little bit of loss puts another nail in the coffin. Eventually they may just realize that rainbows and dildos aren’t the income that an economic entity like a state needs!

Aye! Ne'er has a truer word been spoken!

This is almost enough to get me to consider buying a Weatherby...

Is it wrong for me to love seeing backlash against ideology I detest?

Got to be way better than that POS state of California!

what do you have against shit?

 

[VonJager]

Hurray for Weatherby!! I wonder if they are taking any of their employees with them? If not, I wonder how long it will take new "operators" to get fully up to speed? I think I've read elsewhere that some Weatherby firearms are produced by other manufacturers but I don't know if they all are.

I read 70 to 90 making the move.

That's impressive.

The state, not the people, the state!

The governor to be more precise

The governor to be more precise

while the governor is the ultimate douche nozzle the land of fruit, nut and flake has a disproportionate number of those who like and support his ilk and agenda. I know some very fine people who pulled up roots and moved to Idaho because they couldn't stomach living under a socialist regime. If it seems like I'm tarring everyone with the same brush I'm not just those who are part of the problem

those that are moving are in for a hell of a change as far as winter goes but what they will pick up in awesome wholesome living conditions will be worth it,they may have to go to Denver or billings to get some fancy culture but they will be glad to go back to the big horns and smell sweet pine air and morning frost,all we ask here is to respect what we have,we have a game and fish that works pretty hard to keep theiselves away from total legislature control and it has been very hard with the downturn in coal and oil and nat gas if your willing to drive a couple hundred mi you can find somewhere to hunt.

California is such a mess. Weatherby made a good move. Taxes, anti gun, regulations up the ying yang... Why should anyone want to operate a business in Cali?
