[QUOTE="Backfencer, post: 3002460, member: 128722"] Glad you're happy with your new rifle! Nothing like "retail therapy", to justify the deed of trading our time for cash! ;) In regard to the OP's communication with Seekins; I too inquired with their CS via email in November/December 2023. The response time wasn't immediate, but I knew from prior research that they have been overwhelmed in all departments since the end of The Plague. My questions were answered within a week though, which I felt was an adequate amount of time. I'm not justifying the snide comment he received back regarding the barrel swap question (the answer is yes, BTW). I've toured the factory (twice), and it's quite impressive to see how far they've come in just 20 years. I've met the sales staff, and it's small. Heck, the entire company is "small" depending on what scale you want to compare it too. Also, the rifles they're building today were ordered 6 months ago. Some people would say "they're behind"...others would call that "backlog"...I see it as a positive that consumers really want their rifle. Plus, their warranty seems to be like no other! For me, (at my age, now-51), I'm happy to support an American company employing 60+ citizens, building rifles in the US. There was a time when I couldn't justify buying a hunting rifle that cost another 30-50% more than a Browning, etc. Not knocking anyone in their choice of guns...but if you're near Lewiston, I recommend stopping by and getting a tour. It's cool, you don't need an appointment, but I recommend sending an email if you think you might be in the area in advance. BTW, show season is starting soon though, so they'll be travelling and have a couple less CS people on the floor for about a month starting in 2 weeks. [/QUOTE]
