    What do I do now?

    This won't be short, I apologize for that now. July 2019: I plan and commission a no-expense-spared build. Work out details with extremely well-known and respected builder who offers 1/2 MOA guarantee. Manners PRS-1 (my choice) Impact 737R (my...

    What do I do now?

    Ironically, that's kind of the saving grace in all of this. The original rifle was received in September of 2019 with plans to find a good load and build up dope in preps for a few matches in 2020. Had this not been the year of 'stay-the-fark-home', I would have been more upset. But I didn't...

    What do I do now?

    Not yet unfortunately. The cold is going to settle in soon, so hoping to get it quickly. Waiting on test series of ammo from custom ammo maker as well, so even if I got the rifle right now, I wouldn't have anything good to sling through it.

    What do I do now?

    I'll know when I get it. I don't believe it has shipped yet. Last I heard, Mark wanted to shoot it to make sure it was solid before it got shipped.

    Thanks, I'm really fond of it. Can't wait to get it in my hands and start throwing lead.

    What do I do now?

    I got a sneak peak today. I made up the paint scheme in my head. I'm interested in what ya'll think of it. I'm rather smitten.

    What do I do now?

    Slotted to be built this week, so with shipping and possible NICS delays given the craziness, I should have it out at the range in 3 weeks time. Now I have to begin the hunt for ammo.

    As a child, and maybe as an adult, you were dropped a lot; weren't you?

    What do I do now?

    Action has been returned to manufacturer and full cost refunded. If Impact would like to dig into it and offer up their opinion/analysis, I'd love to know as well. It was originally sent back to them early in the process of tracking things down and it was returned shortly thereafter with a...

    What do I do now?

    Just spec'd out paint with Mark today. Black/midnight digital camo on the stock, Cerakote Titanium on the metal bits, with Cerakote Blackout on the accent pieces. Quite excited to see how that color combo turns out.

    What do I do now?

    Not yet. Just got contacted by Sarah over at S.A.C. asking for confirmation on barrel length and thread pitch now that all of the pieces are in. Hoping to have this in hand before the weather gets too cold. Billy

    What do I do now?

    The problem isn't with the builder. I chose Short Action Customs because of a stellar reputation of building accurate rifles. I did not choose unwisely.

    What do I do now?

    It tells people, at least people without literacy issues, that there's an issue with the gun and the builder is resolving it. Thankfully, the people who can read are already aware.

    What do I do now?

    Yep. Any second now someone's going to tell us he's sure the problem is with the barrel.

    What do I do now?

    Just what I thought. You went the Ms. Clio route. This happening is quite rare, which is why things have gone down the way they have. And why things are getting resolved, the way they are. I'm surprised the friendly Jamaican didn't tell you all of this when she read your palm and explained...

    Did you even read the thread or did you call Ms Clio?

    What do I do now?

    When the rifle issues are resolved, the results will be far better than any non-trued factory action and barrel would ever produce. There are builders that routinely build guns that shoot sub 1/4 MOA with factory ammo, and a few that guarantee that in everything that leaves their facilities...

    What do I do now?

    The rifle was shot for groups between 100 and 300 yards. Results all routinely the same. I'm not sure what relevance this question has though. A rifle that can't group at 100 is not magically going to group better at 300. What is a 'tuner'? I've not heard the term before, but if that's a...
