[QUOTE="Pelicanpoint, post: 2268183, member: 119311"] I recently purchased a custom 270 WSM here on this forum and shocked at how misrepresented it was once I received it. First of all…I was so hyped when my FFL called and said it had arrived! While inspecting the rifle for the first time, it discharged several times while going from ‘safe’ to ‘fire’. Obviously, the trigger had been messed with and set to a very unsafe tension. Next, after adjusting the trigger to a safe level, I figured out the rifle will not chamber factory ammunition (I did try several types). I’m not a gunsmith by any means and have reached out to the seller, with no response. Shouldn’t all this info have been disclosed by seller? Geeze! What are my options for this rifle at this point? Thanks in advance. Here is the rifle info from seller’s original post: 270 WSM built by Mesa Precision Arms with the following components: - Bighorn Origin long action, nitrided, bedded, pinned 20 MOA rail - Mesa Precision Arms Carbon Altitude stock with Alpine color - BSF Carbon barrel, 26", 1:8.75 twist, 5/8x24 thread, .930" muzzle diameter, 40 rounds down the barrel - Tuned Remington 700 trigger breaking at about 2.5 lbs - Wyatts DBM [/QUOTE]
