Re: Great Montana Action
don't we all budget $2,000 on a paint job when we want a custom build?
When he was so serious about $5k being too low i was hoping for a very nice build, but then they just slapped together a relatively pedestrian build i was alittle let down. I don't normally watch the show, but this one was definitely mediocre

Re: Great Montana Action
I was LOL'ing when the fat "gunsmith" reported they had a show stopper because the pod mount on the gun was for a stud but the bipod was a rail mount. The owner is a hero because he CNC's a part that you can buy on ebay.
Guess that's why they get the big bucks for "Custom" work.
I used to watch the show due to it being gun related....now it's just plain gun retarded.

Re: Great Montana Action
I figure with buying a Savage .338 and throwing some great glass and minor gunsmithing (IE: Skim bedding etc.) I could make a rifle that shoots just as well if not better at half the cost.
I find it funny that as an Agency they got all excited over the stupid and ridiculous paint job. My agency is all about function not style. Will it place the crucial round in the right place when the time calls for it is all that matters.

Re: Great Montana Action
That guy is a conartist. What about the guy who spent $1700 to tacticool his 870. He could have bought an m4 for cheaper.

Re: Great Montana Action
Those guns cost so much because they have to add in the 500$ worth of tannerite they use on every episode to make there fantastic builds look so great lol.

Re: Great Montana Action
micah - you can't forget the $1,000 helicopter fee. Add that to the Tannerite charge, and a box of 22 shells costs you $1,502 there.

Wait - you were let down when Gunchoke overcharged for something? you have not seen the show enough then.
I seriously wanted to go choke that kid when he said "sniper ready" before shooting.

Re: Great Montana Action
Makes me like Red Jacket better, $2000 stock paint job (idiotic) and just buy the regular Harris bipod or Seekins bipod rail. Where is the overpriced Counter Sniper Scope!!!!

Re: Great Montana Action
I was busy cleaning a rifle so I only heard the show, instead of seeing it. What scope did they put on it? I am sure they doubled the retail cost of whatever it was to cover their meticulous installation services.

Re: Great Montana Action
Yea I almost forgot about the 2000 dollar paint job. U got to be shitting me!! Who would even think about that. And especially when it's for an agency. And 1700 for the tacticool shotgun? This has to be staged for tv or somebody needs to point out the Internet to these people so they don't get screwed.

Re: Great Montana Action
Out of 64,000 members on this site I have not heard of one person who lives in Colorado who has gone to that store to see if anything is legit. There is no way they charge television prices or they would go bankrupt.

Re: Great Montana Action
hey don't forget the time that race car driver spent close to $25,000 for 4 basic guns. when it should have been close to $2000 or less.
yeah I would have kept my remington 870 along with my TC 300wm.I know for sure he could have just bought a Tactical 12ga. even alot of ammo with the $1300 he added to the cost to build one.plus what happened to all the left overs from the 870.I guess Rich will keep it and make even more money.

Re: Great Montana Action
Take Sako TRG 42, add 1500.00 dollar Leupold Scope, MK4 rings, scope base, Slip Cuff QR Sling ( Self serving plug) and LRA Bipod. You are right at 5000.00
Now add 20.00 in multiple cans of Krylon for true sniper camo paint job
Guess what you have a real 338 Lapua ready for duty.
Never put any BS on the side of a LE Sniper Rifle because it will be real stupid when you shoot someone and its sitting table in court room.

Re: Great Montana Action
Hey ultraman,I guess I could stop by there this weekend but with my luck I would somehow end up on that damn show and never be able to show my face in the shooting community again. Maybe if I'm lucky he would let me trade in my surgeon actioned GAP .338 my crusader a couple H&K's and a couple of my ar's for one of those shiny super badass "sniper rifles" lol.

Re: Great Montana Action
I am just dumb founded every time I see it or hear about it. Someone please tell me there is no way they really charge that much or there is no way people really pay that much. Around where I'm at people's jaws drop about paying 500 for a rifle and scope. On the show they don't bat and eye when there told 1500 for a gunsmoke deep cover trigger job

I am sure there is lots of gun math being explained by first born engineer nerds.

Re: Great Montana Action
I watched this last night and was disappointed in the finished product as well. My thought was that the piece was not truly intended for duty use, but would be more of a display item which is only used casually. Sort of like an Orange County chopper. But who knows.
Other than the paint job, the thing that jumped out at me was the scope they put on it. did not appear to be up to the capabilities of the cartridge.

Re: Great Montana Action
The gun smithing pricing on their website doesn't seem absurd. There is no gun pricing online
The main thing I noticed is they have an iPhone app. Who is going to be the first brave person to try it.

Re: Great Montana Action
I looked at the stock they were putting on it, even prior to paint, and thought it was wierd, more of a BR stock that a tactical one. Then spending the time to CNC a 2"Pic rail? That stock will be scratched up if they ever actually use it. If I were the chief I would have been afraid to show the town folk what I spent their money on. Steven

Re: Great Montana Action
A camo job...
with a blue stripe..
A motto...
A PD badge...
A SWAT badge...
And,,oh yeah... the GUNSMOKE logo...
I'd make them pay ME for the paint job if I had to advertise for them...
Why not add the logo of the paint shop as well...
Hey- I got an idea...
I'll call Sierra and Hornady, and sell them ad space on the sides of my rifles!!!!!!!!!

Re: Great Montana Action
I was just there last month. For a small shop the place is packed with firearms. I stopped in 3 times and walked away with a couple firearms. There prices are fair and they do deal on them. The only one they would not deal on was a consignment. Had no problems talking with them and I think the older gentlemen’s name was Bob was very knowledgeable. The TV crew was there the first day they were standing around waiting for the shop to close so they could start filming. Rich was there one day and I talked with him for 30 to 40 minutes. Was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the firearms we talked about. The show on the other hand I feel is staged Who cares. The shop is a great place to stop in to find the old the new the collectable. I will go back again when I get a chance. The show, I may catch a episode I may not. But they are promoting firearms and dang if one of these times I might catch a glimpse of Renee in the flesh!!

Years ago there was a TV show showing a chef cook in a local restaurant.
The guy was a handsome movie star with a fake Italian accent, and the show was shot in a studio, not the restaurant. The star of the show had never worked in that restaurant.
It does not surprise me that there is a gun store and it is real. But TV can be all fake; actors, scripts, directors, and sets. In reality TV, the writers are non union.
You want to make a TV show about guns and get ratings?
Have Kate Upton dance the dougie while holding a gun and exposing cleavage. Then have Paul Teutul, Sr. of American Chopper yell at her for not wrapping her strong hand with her weak hand while gripping the handgun. Next have R. Lee Ermey show Katy Perry how to shoot water melons with a bazooka. Cut to advertisement.
