CORE shooting solutions rifle build

I actually asked a question like this recently. Core stocks the components (blanks, stocks, actions, etc... And can sell you the components off the shelf, or they can do all the barrel work and assembly in-house with their own experienced gunsmiths. They make fantastic rifles, and are most definitely good to go. Some of the best customer service in the business I might add! You can always give them a call too if you have any questions. They're super friendly and easy to get ahold of.
Interesting outfit, spent good bit of time browsing and also interested to see what others have to say about their experiences w/ CORE.
Francis Kuehl does their chamber work... Google him... Nuff said. But seriously their shit is legit, wouldn't be able to stay open if their products or services sucked.
They did at one point, Francis Kuehl did their chambering. Friendly guys to talk to. A direct call or email will answer that question. Other customers experience and review matters for sure, but we can't insure anything we say on their behalf. Its their gig, so talk to them. Forumns all end up with a mixed bunch, there's always that one guy who had a bad experience and lights up the forumn but if you get and overall positive response, then I'd say your golden buddy.
I just started a Bighorn/Foundation build with them and they have been great so far. I think they have two in house smiths. They have everything in house for my order. Thx
I purchased my Mpa chassis, and Bartlein blank through Core. Emailed Josh back, and forth with multiple questions. He replied everytime in less then an hour, even outside of business hours. He also took an Impact action they had in stock and dropped it into an Mpa to make sure there were no fitment issues for me. Only thing negative I can say about Core is their packaging can be a little better. Other than that I was extremely pleased to find out they keep difficult to find parts in stock.
They have gunsmiths in house, if im not mistaken they no longer send anything out but i can be mistaken. with that being said their work is amazing and easily ranks up there with the other household name custom shops. give them a ring, the customer service is next level and lead times are usually minimal.
We appreciate all of the kind words on our behalf. We are trying to monitor the forums a little better now so that we can keep everyone informed on what we can provide and also get feedback on how we are doing. We are a small team here, but we love what we do and are working hard to provide the best products and services that we possibly can....to include full rifle builds now. You guys are partially correct, Francis Kuehl has, and continues to do rifle builds for us; however, recently Ern Stokesberry of Accurate Solutions has become our primary builder. Previously, Ern and Francis were both building rifles for us in a limited capacity but as the demand for more builds increased, Ern moved his shop to Florida and is building for us full-time. Ern is a super experienced builder who worked for GA Precision for a number of years and we are lucky to have him co-located with us. After testing the builds that he has completed, we are very pleased with the accuracy and reliability results that he can provide. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them up or shoot us a PM. We love talking with our customers on the phone as well so give us a call if we can help you with anything.
Everyone,
Thank you for the kind words about CORE and their rifles/barreled actions. I am not speaking on CORE's behalf but I wanted to post more information on the above.
As most know Francis is a great builder/shooter and I am glad to of had the privilege to work with and become good friends with Francis during our time at GAP. Francis and I have both been doing builds for CORE for quite some time and we strongly believe in putting quality and the customer first. CORE holds the same values, which are evident from the compliments above, and settles for nothing less.
I moved my shop from Arizona to be co-located with CORE in Baker, Florida and am continuing to put out some of the best rifles available. I am truly a one man operation and do everything in-house including: action blueprinting, barreling, bedding, cerakoting, laser engraving, final assembly, and test-firing.
It continues to be a pleasure to serve the Precision Rifle Community.
