Has anyone tried calling him? I thought I read in an earlier post that he was going to start answering calls regularly starting last Monday since his equipment and others new items were in place. I called him just recently and we had a good talk.. Robert knew how to talk and make phone calls before the new project ever was thought of....when the phone rang he just chose to answer the calls that he knew were not over due builds.... Not sure how he thought all the owners of the way over due builds would just sit back and wait forever without saying anything!

Especially in this day and age of forums, social media, etc. Communication is easier than ever, and can be good or bad for you. If his product is as good as people say it is, just some communication on his part would have prevented a whole lot of bad stuff being said about him that easily show up on a google search.

So you're trying to imply the guy running a professional business holding fists full of cash is reponsible to communicate to customers about unexpected/expected delays in work orders? Chit.....

The guys in here constantly complaining probably still squat to take a pizz.I hear you drone on and on about how awful Robert is but alas, not a damn peep with regards to where your candy asses has sent your rifles to. Target pics? Some people just like to rattle to hear their selves talk. Here's the thing, I have had custom builds from Smiths from all over for me for benchrest, tactical, F-class, etc etc. I was Always chasing the carrot. To date, NONE can build a stick to shoot w/what Robert builds. Let me say it again, NONE!!!! Here's the thing about burning your bridges, when you're on the outside looking in it just plain sucks watching the accuracy party carry on without you. EVERY Biz has growing pains and Roberts is no different. Personally, I will always be a loyal Gradous rifle owner and end user. Let me know how those .5 to 3/4 '' at best MOA groups are working out for ya. You guys don't deserve a Gradous build but I suspect you'll get exactly what you deserve in the end though.

I'm not claiming no one can build a rifle that is as good as someone - you are. I simply posted that apparently many do.
The only whiners here are the RG nuttlickers who can't understand that their guy is this go around's Jeff Hicks. No more, no less.

Daddy Rabbit READ the chart. Numbers don't lie. RG is ONE of the best, but there are many! Correct load development for any rifle is another factor.I am very pleased with my RG rifle after I developed a load for it and we settled our bump in the road and moved on. Also I would be specific to which people on this list squatt or are candy asses. If you think we fit that category here in rural central Texas bring your ass down here and the matter can be further discussed.

So i am wondering how many people have requested their parts back recently and actually received them? Or will they sit in the back room
for the rainy day fund?

Not sad, but funny as fu-k!  If your daddy calls you and you dont answer, you're gonna get a knot slapped on your head. If you call your dog and he doesn't come, he will be disciplined. If a man has thousands of dollars of my money and parts and wont answer the phone, he's gonna get knots on his head for my trouble! It's simply about respect! The turd polishers in this thread can spin it any way they choose.

In all probability, that chart simply reflects how "well known" the smith is. Geroge Gardner shoots the rifles his shop builds in competition...great for name recognition.

Gradous isn't the only man who can build an accurate rifle. At this very moment I can go put my hand on three different custom rifles than will shoot well into the low .2' and .3's MOA consistently out to 500 yards and I didn't have to spend thousands of dollars or wait multiple years to get any of them.
