[QUOTE="Shooter4Fun, post: 1142644, member: 93455"] I only WISH i read this 21 weeks ago. That was when I hired savage gunsmiting to do a .22lr build for me, accurize, scope mount, bipod.... I was told 7 - 9 weeks. Like everybody else here, I did the emailing wondering where the build is at. I did get responses from sandra with no real excuses just that it's being worked on. Then finally an email saying it just needs to be shot and shipped....then weeks go by and nothing. I finally got a call from scott at week 19 or 20. He claimed that savage has sent him 2 rifles with bad barrels and that was the reason for the hold up. gave me a some options 1. wait for savage to send a third rifle 2. use a match grade barrel insert would be done & shipped in a week 3. use a match grade barrel...would have to get one (I can not confirm any of this was true or if this is his goto excuse for people) I went with option number 2 and was charged extra....and waited. finally the day came when I could go to my FFL and pick up my rifle. While the guy is making the phone call, I open up the box. Looks ok, everything is on it...what the heck! a small ding on the scope ring! crap.... oh well. I flip up the scope cover and take a look through the glass of the Pride Fowler Rapid Reticle.... . nice clear glass.... . what the heck! . Now why in the hell is there a 5.56 reticle on my 22lr scope!? son of a .....@#!@@#. * I get home and make an immediate phone call to sandra who initially tries to blame ME for not checking the product numbers she sent me. I tell her, I'm looking at her email of the itemized parts and there IS NO product numbers and told her "don't you dare try to make this MY fault" she apologized, but still tried to stick that excuse in there a couple more times. I asked how anyone shot this and did not notice there is a BDC reticle that goes to 900 yards on a 22lr? she didn't know what I was talking about...she just orders the products. I asked who proof shot this gun? she said her son. I asked why He didn't notice? she didn't know. * NOW, supposedly this 22 with do .18 moa at 50 yards. IF IF IF that is the case I can forgive them for taking 22 weeks on a 7 week project. Sandra says that they will send me out the correct scope (when it's not on backorder) and I will have to switch them out and re-zero and pack and ship back..... So, the saga continues. It is alot to ask from a man when it's only a 22lr. if only I checked this forum...if only. [/QUOTE]
