-Spikes has a history of less than honorable business practices and overall "jackassery." Since there are other choices of equal quality abundantly available, common sense says go that route and stay away from ST.
- The above statement does not change the fact that ST rifles themselves are carefully constructed of the proper materials. They have also released 3rd party, independent testing to verify their claims, which is something few companies have done. The rifles are built to the same high standards as the other companies we know and love.
Point 1 doesn't cancel out point 2 and vice-versa. A reasonable person, in my view, looks at these facts and determines to buy a BCM, DD, Colt, etc. etc. etc. instead of a Spikes. An UNREASONABLE person, however, is overcome by their emotional reaction to Point 1 and simply chooses to ignore Point 2.
