[QUOTE="mountainman56, post: 966927, member: 79106"] Has anybody heard of this outfit? A friend of mine recently purchased a custom 300 win mag from here. Beautiful looking lightweight hunting rifle. Stiller predator action, jewel trigger, fluted barrel, Swarovski 4-12 with the BRX reticle, Bell and Carlson lightweight stock and a small slab side muzzle brake. Looks great, nice balance and can't get it to shoot worth crap. The owner doesn't have the time or the interest to hand load and wants to shoot factory ammunition. Tried five different kinds of ammunition at 100 and 500 yards with very poor results. Checked everything I could without pulling the stock off so far. Only thing I've found is the bore on the muzzle brake is only .317. That clearance seems awfully tight but I can't see any indication of hits. Intend to try it with the brake off next trip (got over 100 degrees and we surrendered). Can such tight clearance have a detrimental effect? If that doesn't work I guess I'll have to pull it apart, check the bedding and start with the basics. Just seems wrong with a new custom. I told him to take it back but he is hesitant to do so as we live a long ways from his smith and he is heading out on a marco polo sheep hunt in the not too distant future (poor guy). On the up side my old, nearly all original (except for the firing pin and the stock) shot a 2.6" group at 500. Maybe I'll have to put it in his lightweight stock and send him hunting. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
