[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 188213, member: 2852"] Joelbiltz, Not to be a killjoy here but your satisfaction with this company is rare among their buyers. And the few that like them simply don't know what they could have had for less money and better quality elsewhere. I respect your opinion and don't disagree with your right to post your feelings at all but I think it is important to educate prospective buyers that your experience with them is far from norm. I live very close to them and I am plugged into the local shooting community as much as anyone could be and I can tell you that people are getting ripped off by Christensen. No offense to huntinfool18 intended. He has probably helped them out immensely but the bottom line is that quantity is their aim, not quality. I also warned him about the mentality of the owners before he took the job there too. They have had several decent machinists but when they took the time to do things right, they got fired because orders were being backed up. Quality takes time. Period. My experience with them comes from first hand, hands on experience with dozens and dozens of them. Not by rumor or third hand stories mind you. Last week, I fired a Carbon one hunter in 270 wsm that had such an oversized chamber, it left about a .020" bellyout on the web of the case! To reload the brass for this gun, a small base die is going to be a must! This is just one example of recent memory and is totally unexcusable for a "custom" rifle. Sorry for my bluntness but I thought it was necessary to present the other side of the story for people's protection. I don't much try to sugar coat things or be politically correct anymore. I figure the straight scoop is easier! [/QUOTE]
