[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1197571, member: 39764"] No matter what your business venue is, there will be a percentage of fock ups no matter what. That goes with the business territory. John Pierce isn't the most personable person you'll ever meet and normally he isn't even in the shop, he's out at a F-Class match or up at Brian Litz's place or at home building loads or racing one of his race cars (they build race engines too). The guys in the shop are super. When we go there, they always make you feel right at home and I, myself have learned much from just talking to the crew. Everyone's rifles are there to look at (I might have looked at rifles destined for members here, not knowing it). Nothing is secretive, nothing is hidden. It's not like going to Cabelas, where it's all neat and tidy and there are uniformed sales staff there to wait on you. It's a machine shop and race engine shop so all the employees wear whatever and there is stuff everywhere and machines running and people scurrying around... I'm always impressed by the focus each employee has on their job. The last 2 sticks they built, I wanted them chambered in sucession, with a Bisley reamer (Bartlien Barrells) and they were. That eliminated 2 sets of custom machined dies to one John Whidden bushing die, made th the chamber print. I get what I want but I am willing to pay for it. Pierce Engineering ain't cheap by a long shot, but I see (first hand) the stuff they build, from their wire EDM'd receivers to the chambering and everything is good. You get what you pay for.
