Jerry, I know it's just a matter of time before we see Premier scopes on all of those rifles right?

I'm glad you guys posted. Seems that only good reviews want to be heard after someone has time and money invested in something.

I wish there would have been more people posting about their issues with HD Rifles, back in the day. Would have saved many of us a lot of time and grief. It was frowned upon and attacked by several of the old timers here because Hicks was <span style="font-style: italic">their</span> 'smith.

Things haven't changed.

You're exactly right, just a matter of time.

Re: Harold Fredd rifles lets see 'em

I hesitate to say anything here, but I know Harold well, and have been friends for some time now. If he won't say it I will. Donovan got more than he deserved. Ask Donovan how many times he called Rock Creek AND Harold DAILY...basically making an annoyance of himself... He got his shit back in the process, not completed because he called up and left a message WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY RIFLES???'. He got them AS THEY WERE...IMMEDIATELY...AS THEY SAT. I have no doubt if he would have been patient as are most customers, he would have gotten a much different result. I believe Harold had his rifles with barrel blanks IN HAND less than two weeks when he received that message.....so Donovan got things as they were, with no charge just to get rid of him.

I don't post here much, I build rifles as a side business and have been doing armament/small arms/gusmithing for 15 years for active army, guards, and privately. I'll say this, I wouldn't wish customers like Donovan on ANYONE. I heard day by day from Harold about this SOB in OK that would constantly call and bug the ever living shit out of him. Hey, your excited, it's your first rifle...yipppee. Hold your breath and wait with the rest. Harold does good work, his guns shoot as well as any others.

I agree with many posts above, there are two sides to every story, and Donovan's is certainly the case as I was with Harold several times when Donovan called (2+ times a day) and Harold didn't even have the barrel blanks from Rock yet.

Thanks, I am trying to be patient.

I am sure Donovan will chime in, but I know for a fact he was calling 2+ times a day because he was promised a date and it had long since passed. And then he was told one of his rifles would be on the UPS truck come Monday. When Donovan hadn't gotten any word by mid-week he started calling and was told again that it would be ready Monday.

And another reason he had to leave messages was because Harold wouldn't answer his phone because he was running out of excuses.

Not much you can do when you don't have a barrel to screw on is there???? Oh yes, Donovan took care of that also as he would call Harold, then call Rock, Rock would call Harold to let him know a barrel was incoming, then Donovan would call Harold to tell him the same thing.

Wow, so you think he got what he deserved? Take a look at that stock its ruined. Even if the stock wasnt started and he was calling him he should have sent it back to him instead of hacking it up.

Well, if you tell someone a project is suppose to be completed in a timely manner and its not your going to get annoying customers. Being in the business your going to get customers like Donovan. However, NO ONE deserves what these two individuals got even if they didnt have to pay for it in the end because really they both did.
