Any experience with Riverbend Custom Rifles? vs GA Precision

[RedRaider271]

Getting ready to build another long range 6.5 rifle, have been using GA Precision for all of my builds over the last 5-6 years. They have all shot lights out and pretty much planned on going with them again. I heard about Riverbend Custom but I don't know much about them. Curious if anyone has had a rifle built by them or general thoughts on rifles and service etc.

Building 6.5 PRC or Creedmoor on Rem 700 Action, PRS rifle and play rifle. On a side note anyone used McMillan A6 yet? Thoughts

Appreciate any feedback,
Thank you

I’ve dealt with Jeff for many years now he built me a rifle while he was at GA precision and two more at Riverbend Custom
Great customer service
Good prices
Very knowledgeable

I would have a hard time switching from a gunsmith that I have an established relationship with that does good work and is on time. Not to mention GAP helped develop and test the 6.5 prc, so if you go that route even more reason to stay with them...

I have moved all of my work to Jeff.
He is an incredible person to deal with and his work is fantastic.
I used to use GA, past tense.
No longer.
I have 2 GA rifles, both of the builders are now on their own now and have left GA.
Rivers Bend and Crescent Customs.

My two big things I'm looking for are quality accurate rifle and the service... I don't mind paying good money for quality but just want to know what I'm getting into. Also like to feel like my business is important, I'm not a pro but I do repeat business with those who take care of me.

I have a friend who works with some guys that have said that Riverbend does awesome work and took great care of them, and they were previous GA customers so that has my curiosity going, and I'm getting ready to start my project. I've been getting a lot of voicemail with GA lately, so doing some looking, I appreciate the feedback.

Are you seeing 3/8 - 1/2 MOA?

I have spent a little time (hour here and hour there after work) in Jeff's shop (hes also building me a 300wm) and I will tell you his attention to detail and knowledge gives me the utmost confidence I made the right choice in my gunsmith. All the people that I have met that know him think the world of him as a gunsmith and as person.
