I am really curious how the "20 degree" scope base is working out? Seems like it might be hard to get a zero at 100 What a bunch of up-selling, non-delivering, hacks.

Mr. Rooney we know you are reading this. Please come forward and speak to the forum.
Wow man! Congrats to you on being so restrained. I'd have shown up at this guys house and eaten his dog on the front lawn while his kids watched. Thanks for posting this as a PSA.
I'm sorry to hear about this happening once again. You can expect their lawyer to send you threatening letters soon demanding that you delete this post. My customer and I received many threats from them after he posted the video to Youtube of the repairs I performed.

I can't believe these jerks are still in business.
Hey Max-- you trembling at the thought of one of them scary lawyer letters???
There is a poor fellow trying to unload one on AR15 right now that looks like it has the same shoddy work. It's a small picture but the bottom metal is definitely not flush with the stock.
As I understand the subject when explained to me it is not necessary for things to look pretty to get the job done. However, it was the downward cant of the bottom metal that caused the rounds to move forward at too low of an angle causing rounds to get hung on the lower portion of the ramp. The rear of the bottom metal was flush and the forward section had overhang. Trimming the front pillar allowed proper feeding, and just so happened to result in a flush fitting bottom metal.
I'd have shown up at this guys house and eaten his dog on the front lawn while his kids watched.
I can't figure out how Tactical Rifles is still in business and continues to get over on people. I clicked on his BBB reviews and its the same story over and over.
Take a look for yourself… Consumer Complaints for Tactical Rifles - West Coast Florida BBB
There was a customer on another forum a while back that some issues and TR did in fact come on the site, basically said "the customer is a liar" and the forum seemed to accept that. The thread was locked for lack of photographic evidence, but there's some in-depth correspondence with the BBB:
TacticalRifles.net
I believe the same guy also posted on ARF

Yes, I read the posts from Michael Wilson, the customer. He wrote a very detailed analysis of what happened and this is the response from Tactical Rifles:
"WILSON - BBB
The individual in question basically got in trouble with his wife for buying a rifle from us. He tried to keep his scope for another rifle, but the wanted to get his money back for his “piece of shitâ€"
I am personally shocked that this type of comment can keep a business open. I am just glad I had the great people in this forum give me good direction to where I purchased a GA Precision Rifle instead. I have an amazing rifle with a decent turn around time (I was told 6 months but it showed up in 3). Keep up the good work in spreading the facts about certain vendors and rifle manufacturers men (and women I am sure).
Feel bad for that guys situation. Apparently these stories are popping up on multiple forums. But that forum in particular is extremely minor league. Those guys called Mr Wilson a liar because he didn't have pictures...... can they be more fickle?
This clown is on youtube...sounds like he's from England - skinny little bastard

With how crappy their work is, I'm waiting (in fear of course) of someone getting or hurt or killed because of their extremely poor craftsmanship. That's probably what it will take. Similar to center divides on freeways. It takes a high casualty rate for the city to spend the money on something that should have been there to begin with.
It was kind of amazing to me the difference in approach the other forum took. It wasn't just the members, a lot of whom were pretty laid back about it, but the forum "management" who basically dismissed what I felt was a pretty well documented case.
Say what you will about the Hide, but when something is F'ed up, the members are NOT laid back.
PLUS, in the other thread here that went 14 pages (and counting again) LL basically told TR's lawyer to get fucked when they tried the bullying approach. THAT spoke volumes to me about THIS place.
Mr Blu, here is the disclaimer:
That's bullshit.
Any company worth their salt will back up their product 100%.
That disclaimer is a sign of weakness and shenanigans.
"light weight trigger pull" is VERY subjective. 3.5lbs could be light for someone. Others, really heavy.

"Student of the Gun" is a tv show and podcast actively promoting TR, in fact I heard them mentioned in their most recent podcast. They have a FB page too...
OP sorry to hear about your troubles, but thanks for sharing.
He talks a good game.
It's a shame that, judging from dozens of accounts that are easy to find on the internet, it's all just talk.
What a dick.
Just as unscrupulous, though, are the boneheads that endorse this a$$hole's company.

Joe, SOTG podcast had long range shooting as a very short topic of discussion recently and mentiond the rifle used was a TR rifle. I would assume the youtube vid was some kind of promo??. Just saying, SOTG may be unscrupulous, or may be uninformed. I just happened to hear it mentioned after seeing this thread the other day.
