Turnaround time from Jesse was just about 3 weeks from when I shipped it to when it arrived at my door. I fouled up and had this rifle cerakoted back when it was a 308. Bergara's standard bluing is garbage and rusted after one day in the field, even after drying and wipedown with rem oil wipes. Jesse did note that the machining process may mark up the cerkote job, which it did. Nothing I am upset about or that couldn't be re-coated in the future if it becomes a problem. Just a reminder (although obvious to many), that the order of operations for work like this does in fact matter. Haha, oh well.
Will get to range in coming days and post reports. All Federal Factory ammo for right now: 200gr soft point, 200gr TBT, 200gr Trophy Copper.
Will post hunting results if there are results!
