Upland gun company
 

Here is an interesting new offering.
www.uplandguncompany.com

interesting - it says Italian made, I would have expected Turkey

Just another in the never-ending series of businesses marketing Spanish/Belgian/Italian/Turkish guns to us here in North America.

I believe that the owner of Pine Ridge Grouse Camp may be involved with this new company. Tough market to try and breech in todays day and age. Quite a bit of competition in the 2K - 4K side by side new gun market lately.

Noticed they have both a Wyoming and Michigan addresses?

Nice looking but would definitely want to see one in person before I ordered

Wyoming and Minnesota addresses, but repairs are in northern MI just outside of Traverse City.

I had a survey emailed to me from Project Upland a while ago.

Asking what one would be looking for in a ideal upland gun. I wonder if this is related to that.

Being from Sheridan Wyoming I have a buddy who is going to stop by the Sheridan address and see what’s there. His grandfather was a will known custom rifle builder so if they have any guns there to look at he can give them the once over and see what they are.

Looks like the MN business address is Pineridge while the WY corporate address is just a shell address (more friendly taxes and gun laws I suppose). Just a guess.

A startup importer company for an unknown Italian gunmaker will be a challenging business model. But I'm an old gun kind of shooter so I don't have a good pulse on the new gun market.

I think you guys are being a little harsh. From what I can see, a group of entrepreneur sxs enthusiasts already in the shooting business, have put together a pretty good business model. You can build your gun on line, lots of options, then pay a 50% deposit and it arrives in 3-4 months. Not bad at all. The maker, RFM, has been in business for over 60 years and seems to make a quality product. It also appears the son is married to one of the Fausti sisters. This has caused quite a stir on the 16ga forum. I plan to order one in 16 gauge. I was chatting with the gentleman in MN online who offered to have me come by and shoot one. It’s a bit far from Alabama but I appreciated the offer. For the options I selected for my ideal bird gun, it came to $3500. Not bad at all for a new Italian sxs built to my specifications. This is exactly the type business we should be encouraging to keep the sxs community growing. I hope they succeed.
