Exclusive Report: The 2007 Safari Club International Convention
D'Arcy Echols
MR. Echols (the grim-looking guy at right) lives in Utah, and will be pleased to build you one of his Legend rifles (held by Brian Bingham, his right-hand man, standing at left) for $12,000. He uses Krieger barrels, Winchester Model 70 actions, and his own design fiberglass stock, which is made by McMillan. "What?", you bellow, "twelve grand for a plain, plastic-stocked rifle? Are you kidding?" No, I'm not kidding, and neither is D'Arcy, nor are the people who buy his rifles, and there is no shortage of them. No e-mail, but the phone is (435) 755-6842.

Guess Marlin got the hint, their new guide gun looks a lot like this one. Coincidence?
The first one looks lke my Marlin .35.It was my Papaws and he gave it to my Dad and he gave it to me.
OK. Explain to me why you would buy the Echols when you can buy the Jarrett for less, and it's just as good, and probably more accurate. There is no reason other than to say you have a $12k rifle. It won't do a thing the Jarrett won't. There is nothing better about it. He doesn't even put in the work that Jarrett does. Echols just throws together and tweaks other people's stuff, and charges way more. Jarrett makes everything, and charges way less. Maybe Echols looks grim because he knows he is a massive rip-off artist that charges much more than the other, more talented riflemakers. If it wasn't for insanely rich fools, he would be out of business.
