Like a lot of people I've been watching the for sale threads and thinking about picking up an on sale Sako trg or AI AE on close out. But I've been wanting a custom rig for a long time also. Money matters in my house. After some research i found that I could get a barreled action in 6.5 creedmoor in a week for less than 1700. Stiller tac 30 action, rock creek barrel, pinned lug and 20 moa base. Length of my choice.. Damn, I'm about to spend money. So I begged wife to clear a build budget.......and she gave me the OK. God bless her.
A couple weeks ago I got the funds lined up. So I bit the bullet and emailed Mark at 530pm expecting maybe tomorrow I would hear something. Lo and Behold at 8 that night I got a response and he emailed back and forth with me about options and availibility. Then we had the SNOWSTORM of 2014 and I actually pulled the trigger. Emailed Mark again, on a day the entire city was shut down, and got a response right away. Woody would contact me as soon as they could make it to the shop. Sure enough Woody called Thursday morning and sent me a work order for a barreled action. 1 week later to the day I was called by the shop and drove up to pick up my new sexy beast. Spent an hour or so in the shop bullshitting, and they let me bring up my stock and put all the stuff together right there. Everyone was very nice, and helped out in any way. I had a great time and can't thank them enough. I have never had a shop invite me in and be so hospitable. Amazing really to let in some old fat guy and laugh at his stupid jokes
In short, if your in the market for a great custom shop with outstanding customer service dont forget to look these guys up. You wont regret it. Thanks again to all the guys at AO and keep up the good work. Glad we got someone with there shit straight here in GA.
