Loco, I hope it works out for you.
I have a SS in 6.5x55 coming in next week.
I look forward to shooting it.

Dam- Doesn't sound as though it is going to get better soon, either.

The National Weather Service website is predicting clearing in the Helena area in a couple of days, apparently due to a shift in winds. But we all know how weather predictions can "work."

100 yards, like, from muzzle to target? Forbes 20B is my final desperation plan for a .308 lefty. Get Busy, get your ass off the couch. We need details.

Dude, my ass is in a mini excavator and skid steer on my days off this week.
If I go out to the range tomorrow, I'm halfway to Shedhorn..

Ya I'm dying to hear your results. I've been scouring the internet and other than here I'm really not seeing much mentioned about bad guns. I hope your's shoots great. If they can get a handle on their QC and customer service they could have a great product.

I suspect the experience has cooled enthusiasm and left a sour taste in general toward the rifle. I had a bad experience with Beretta CS that left me unenthusiastic toward a Sako 75 for quite some time.

Were they kind enough to send it back with a proof target? Edit: Kimber did with mine.

Rancho, I will help get these guys off your arse. Just send me the rifle for a quick photo shoot and range session. You're welcome in advance.

They sent a QC punch list to show it passed all required checks.
It was completely illegible.

So they pretty much called you a dumbass in the repair comments section and mailed you the card as a trophy? Wow.

Pretty special, huh?
Rick told me I was lucky to get such good treatment by a company.
