Just wondering about the Para-Ordnance Tactical Target Rifle???
« on: December 28, 2011, 04:40:11 PM »
Just like the thread says....

http://www.paraord.com/new/product_rifle.php

I thought I read somewhere that the license went back to Mr. Zitta who was the guy who originally came up with the idea.

Why?

Were the sales languishing that much?

Was it price pointed too high?

Part of the issue was that piston rifles just ain't selling, in fact EBRs ain't really selling, the go-to gun now is the handgun.

My guess is Para decided to focus on their strengths - the 1911 and other really niced handguns.

IMHO . . . .

You're both correct!

Para is going back to it's "core competency" and Zitta gets the rights to his design, manufacturing and marketing of his systems.

There's a blurb in the January issue of American Rifleman..

Para moved to NC from FL, to save money and focus on making top-shelf stuff,(which they do),....

However, like many gunmakers,,,,,,the Marketing and Sales Division, looking at the gun sales numbers, keep their price point on the high end..

They seem to not get that if they dropped the price a couple hundred bucks, they would sell more....

Instead, lets keep the price on the uber high end....

For example, the LWRC REPR AR, a fine rifle, is over $2500....I can build a clone of one, damn near part for part, with some bravocompany, brownells, and palmettostatearmory and still have money left over for mags and ammo.

Kinda like the tax the rich folks more in your state, who than leave, and leave you short of what you were positive was a "sure thing"...

I'm not sure but it seems like they were only in Fla a short time, a year or less before they moved to NC.

The year I move back to Ft. Lauderdale, (2008), they leave and moved to my 20 year "adopted" State of NC,.... :-\

I'd love a Para Hawg,....but not if I have to chase them..... 8)

Still a great American Gun company,.....Todd Jarret running 1000 rds. from a NIB 1911,....is classic,  a testament, and here in the DRTV vid section.
