[QUOTE="Rick Richard, post: 1571204, member: 75895"] Here is a experience with a factory rifle. Purchased a Tikka 300 WM brand new. The bore was coated with some type of red coating that could not be completely removed no matter how much I tried. In addition, it would not shoot a group less than about 2 moa regardless if I ran factory or handloads through it. With much frustration, I contacted Berretta USA and they advised me to send it back. However, it was going to cost me @ $85.00 for them to check it out...so much for customer support. Long story short, they said nothing was wrong with it and sent it back even with the red coating still in the barrel. I wish this was the only experience I ve had with factory rifles, but it's not. About the only factory brand that I have not had issues with is Savage. So, in the long run I am well satisfied and money ahead owning custom rifles. If I sell them, it's not because they will not shoot or something is wrong with me, but I am bored with them and want to try something different. [/QUOTE]
