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%
Lessons learned this time so far - Put a hard cap on quantities! Haha. While we greatly appreciate the opportunity to do this and for each and every person who participated in it, we will probably cap it at 50 next go round and only keep it open for a week.
Our intention with this has always been to give our TBH community the "friends and family deal" as a way to say thanks for all of your support over the past few years, but this year it started feeling a little different towards the end. It became pretty obvious that folks started joining the site just to take advantage of the deal.......which I don't think is fair to the site. Hopefully most of those folks will stick around and become regular contributors and get to know this place, know us and how different it really is from all of the other forums. I think leaving it open for 3 weeks contributed to that by giving it time to leak out on to all of the other sites and it kind of snowballed from there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about any of it - I just don't want to lose the spirit of what this thing is about and who it is intended to serve.
Thanks again to everyone who participated in this year's TBH special! Hope you guys flood this forum and our FB page with LDP's and tiny groups when these builds start to deliver in a few months.
Thanks,
Robert

I'll bet you guys can come up with a way to weed out those who would take advantage next go-round. Maybe require a TBH screenname and verify that person has been a member for x amount of time or has posted x number of posts.

Just wanted to say thanks for doing this! Pretty amazing deal you offered! I cant imagine how much time and effort it took taking all the orders and answering questions. Not to mention the work its going to take filling them! Im a New member that appreciates the equal opportunity! Have really enjoyed the site and look forward to contributing where I can. Can't wait to get the guns and hopefully have more built by APR down the road!
Thanks again,
Jarek

I think the 6.5 PRC guys are going to be happy on this one. We just got back from an aoudad trip and used it on 6 critters. I checked the rifle when we got there on a white spot about the size of a brick on a cliff face at a lazered 1,104 yards. First shot hit the spot. Second confirmation shot was right there with it. Factory ammo = easy button! That said, just like the CM there was a significant difference between lots. Some lots are much better than others, but they all seem to be pretty decent.

Like others have said, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Robert and APR! I can't wait to get my new custom rifle. Heck I get excited just saying it. Lol we really do appreciate the amazing deal you do for your TBH family and this really is a family here. I couldn't swing the last TBH build financially but as soon as you mentioned doing another this year I started saving! So excited I got to be apart of it this time!
