Re: 10x custom rifle from Duboies PA
We shoot with a guy who either owns or works for 10x. We stock and use all of their rifle cleaning products I'll ask my buddies and see what they know.

You might want to elaborate with specifics.

A first post slam without specifics doesn't lend credibility to your claim, I'd suggest elaborating.

If you are up by Dubois PA, you would be a fool not to go to Dave Bruno in Dayton. He is the fucking man.

Re: 10x custom rifle from Duboies PA
Receiver tolerances were off causing the action to bind up (which I was able to get fixed) but the rail was misaligned so bad that my windage dial was rendered usless on my scopes. I had two separate gun smiths and my dept armorers tell me the reciever was a lemon, but 10X would do nothing to rectify the issue.

If the actions are made by Stiller, I bet he would rectify the situation if the tolerances were truly off. Have you contacted Stiller?

I have not heard many good reviews of them and have never owned one of their rifles. Grices in Clearfield has several on the shelves and I don't think they move many. Seems like the same 5 rifles have been sitting there for over a year.

Re: 10x custom rifle from Duboies PA
FWIW:
Customers of mine have chosen Stiller actions for a number of full builds. Between them and the barreled action work we've done, I've prolly had close to 100 of them through the shop over the last 3 years.
The only issue we've ever seen is a tempermental xtractor on a single gun. 5 minutes of work with a file resolved it.
Using that as the barometer I would have to question the validity of the claim that the base holes/base(s) are out of alignment.
Anything is certainly possible, but remember that when a company focuses attention to a narrow line of products they tend to get good at making them. Setups and procedure become regimented and routine.
If the action is truly "bad" give Russ/Jerry a call. They will fix you up right away.
Good luck and merry christmas.

Re: 10x custom rifle from Duboies PA
I make it to Grices a couple of times a year and have take a look at some of the 10x's they stock and they look pretty darn nice. Almost brought home one of their 338LM but ended up picking up a TRG in 300WM instead. Based on the comments here, glad I did!

To the best of my knowledge, Jerry Stiller has never had any connection to 10X Custom Rifles in Dubois, PA. http://www.10xcustomrifles.com/index.html
They are two seperate manufacturers and have always been so.
