I wanted to share my recent experience with the guys over at SJA. First off, I really got into precision rifle shooting a couple of years ago when I bought a Masterpiece Arms 6.5CM. Great rifle, as I am sure you all know. It was however, in a store ready to go when I found it. I have bought many guns in my life but never had a true custom gun built before this. I was wanting a shorter barrel 6.5CM and was looking at several builders over about 3-4 months. After reading a ton of reviews and talking to folks who know a lot more than me, I knew I wanted a rifle built. I called Nick at SJA. My biggest issue with the whole getting a custom rifle thing was the wait! I have always been more of a right now person, so the idea of waiting a few months for a gun was not on the top of my list. Great thing about SJA is they happened to have a barrel, stock, trigger, etc in their inventory that would work. Nick was great about waking thru what length of barrel, chambering and setup I wanted. I went with 21” M24 Contour, Zermatt Action 6.5CM. Best thing was, I could actually have it completed in the next few weeks.
THE IMPORTANT STUFF:
As with most things in business, and in no small part to recent demand for these rifles, there was a small delay. Of course, I did not understand, really understand, the custom rifle building process like I do today) I freaked out, probably sent 20 emails and 10 phone calls to Nick and team. All I can say about Nick, he is very calming! I have rarely met someone who displayed more confidence in their product, knowledge and desire for customer satisfaction than Nick did. Without going into the details, I can say they went above and beyond to make me happy and they SUCCEEDED!! They will now have my next order/ business as well..
I am just getting the rifle now, so I will leave another post soon as to how is shoots. Although, that is the least of my worries after getting to know Nick and team as they only build top notch quality!!
I would highly recommend talking to these guys for your next build...
