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.

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.

https://projectupland.com/

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.

I believe that the Project Upland survey was for the design of a "crowd-sourced" special variation of the CZ Bobwhite.

There is a podcast dedicated to the CZ project if you look up the Project Upland podcast page.

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.
