Re: First Custom Build - Need Advice
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: SofaKing</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Thank you all for the input - I will consider ALL the options and once I get the stick I will post a pic of stick&targets. Nobody is commenting on Tactical Rifles - makes me a little nervous - their customer communication has been spot on so far. Anyone deal with them? </div></div>
I did a quick search, this is what I came up with:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Lowlight</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Ya, they use tight match chambers in a tactical rifle, I bet I break one down here inside a week....
In the last 3 week alone we broke 4 - SR25's, 4 Leupold M3's, and a Remington Firing pin on a precision rifle, and it's only Wednesday.
This is the Bermuda Triangle of the Precision Rifle World, a lot come in, but not all of them come out the same.</div></div>

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 03bulletstopper</div><div class="ubbcode-body">mine is due in any time. I got the call the other day..308 on a 2.0 aics. I have a USO SN3 here waiting to be mounted. I am hoping to get a range report done soon after. they are really great on the communication side. David is the one i delt with and he was great. after doing alot of research it seemed like most of the top shelf builder all produce rifles that are very capable. there are shops out there that have a lot of rifles out in the hands of very capable shooters and brand loyalty runs very deep in this game. I went with TR since what they seem to offer was in line with most of the others abd the time line was supposed to be shorter and my time line stretched by a few months. So i have been waiting to get out and ring some steel.

From
this thread, I can't tell for sure whether he's talking about Tactical Rifles, Brownells, or some other company.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: bcw1284</div><div class="ubbcode-body">forgot about that one, saw it in brownells also. They have a serious chip on their shoulder, so caveat emptor. Some of the rudest customer service ever when inquiring about a rifle. Then after I told them i'd rather build it myself, they told me they were short on smiths and asked if I wanted a job... the whole thing left me a little inky feeling...
I'll send my money elsewhere. But for parts, they might be just fine.
