[QUOTE="lynn, post: 11657, member: 1479"] Roper Let me tell you right off 50-100 dollars either way wouldn't be what i consider a determining factor in choosing a gunsmith.By the way the Harrel bros sell there muzzlebrake for $30 As to Speedy i'll tell you my story.I contacted him 9 months before the 2002 1000 Yard NBRSA Nationals and asked him how long to put my gun together as i had EVERY PART.He quoted me 2 months and the parts were shipped along with a $1250 deposit.6 months later i called to see what was happening and was told the metal work was all done and we were waiting on the stock to be clearcoated.He estimated shipment in 2 weeks time.One month later i called after my e-mails went unanswererd.I was told he was working on the barrel and the gun would be shipped in days.After i missed the Nationals it kept getting harder and harder to even contact him as he has caller identification and would avoid the calls.At the 16 month mark on a quoted 2 month job i had Wilbur Harris the southwest regional director and owner of Benchrest Central give him a call on my behalf and to avoid litigation.I was given a 2 week estimate and a $1585 bill or a total of $2943 to assemble the rifle remember he supplied nothing.It showed up 2 months later after an additional $85 shipping fee on top of the original $55 i had already paid.It cost me less than $40 to get him all the parts shipped and insured.The clearcoat finish cost was $650 and Micheal Kavanaugh the painter who did the work after hearing this offered to paint my next rifle for free.He no longer works for Speedy.All of this can be verified by Wilbur Harris,Michael Kavanaugh or Yvette Gonzales as Speedless doesn't talk to me anymore.I still get is e-mails though soliciting my business and his christmas cards.
