[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 2908522, member: 109378"] I hear you man. I have two Fierce custom rifles, one in 7mm-08 and one in 6.8 Western. They shoot great, but right on the ragged edge of .5 MOA advertised with factory ammo. I haven't worked up handloads yet but I have all the goods after a yearlong search (except for RL-26 powder I'd like to try). I love my Fierce rifles, but both took me about 15 months to receive them--customer support didn't suck but was kind of "meh"--they never called m with an update and every time I called, we took 5 minutes of talking to the new guy to get caught up and run down the status for my build--first world problems. That said, the performance of my off the shelf SAKO and Browning rifles gives me pause--that Browning 6.5 PRC shoots better than my Fierce customs. I put the Leopold VX6 HD 3-18 X 50 scope on it with custom turrets and that brings the total tax, title and license to $3,900 for a long range, nicely built, very pretty tack driver. Conversely, I have about 7K in each of the Fierce rigs and they shoot lights out, but not better than my OTS Browning, so perhaps a philosophical reassessment is due on my part. :cool: Yeah man, I’d be interested in load data as well! I reload for 40 calibers right now, so I can trade info if you like😜 [/QUOTE]
