We were next to Max and family at SCI and I have to say, I haven't been so impressed with newly built rifles at SCI in many years. Max and Max jr are technically proficient and instead of merely copying the same designs or trying to reinvent the wheel, they look at the best existing designs and how to improve them. Besides the design, the craftsmanship is top flight and the finishing is equal, if not better than any Best makers I observed there. Note that my interest is more in pre-war British rifles but the Erns' work truly gained my interest and admiration. The fact that they are such lovely people doubled my interest.
