    What do I do now?

    I addressed the nut behind the bolt in my post, you should read it.

    What do I do now?

    This thread seems to be derailing into something else. I would love to know the history here, but in the absence of that, I'll explain things as they happened. During one of my earlier conversations with @MikeRTacOps, we discussed a lot about the rifle and about the way it shoots (vertical or...

    What do I do now?

    It's been a hot minute, which means I've had a few emails back and forth with @Mgordon and I've gotten another phone call from @MikeRTacOps. I'm being taken care of, in a strong strong way, by both men. Out of respect for their generosity I'll not go into details, but as a customer, I'm more...

    What do I do now?

    Not wrong. There is already a plan to address that.

    What do I do now?

    To be honest, I'm not exactly sure. @MikeRTacOps called me a couple of times yesterday and spoke to @Mgordon a few times apparently too. I haven't spoken to Mark yet (this is all happening rather fast). Last I heard was from Mike at Tac Ops last night and he lightly laid out the plan of...

    What do I do now?

    I just want to reassert what Mark posted. I intentionally left his name and Short Action Custom's name out of this thread as best I could because I did not want to trash his company's name. Mark and the team over there have been trying hard to get this sorted, and they hadn't thrown in the...

    What do I do now?

    There is a plan Funny you mention that. There is a plan in place between MikeR and my builder. It involves a new action (apparently Impact has already agreed to take-back the one on my rifle), a Krieger barrel, and since the PRS-1 has been bedded unfortunately, it appears that it will have...

    What do I do now?

    Yeah, full build from a well known and respected rifle builder.

    What do I do now?

    With an invitation like that, I'm in. No, I don't shoot on Long Island, but I'm in Westchester and Long Island is definitely an option for me.

    What do I do now?

    Quick update. I just had an incredible 30 minute phone call with a legend who, as it turns out, is kind and generous on top of being unquestionably the best in his field. Thank you MikeR. Earlier today, after figuring out who my builder was, Mike went and gave him a call. Seems they both...

    What do I do now?

    Tell that to the guy who posted before you. He guarantees just that with FGMM. William Roscoe over at Louisiana Precision used to as well. I don't think he does full builds anymore though (I read he only rebarrels actions now).

    What do I do now?

    I've put about $1K worth of ammo through it from September to June when I returned it to the manufacturer (haven't gotten it back yet). That was done over probably two dozen range visits and done at 100, 200, and 300 yards. While there were a couple of range visits with less than stellar...

    What do I do now?

    Not possible. I live in a 1600 sq-ft apartment, have no basement, and no garage. That, and a 1-hour each way commute is what half a million dollars gets you when you and your wife are tied to an industry that is centered in Manhattan. Instead, as noted a few times in this thread, I'm working...

    What do I do now?

    Thank you for your response, it (and everyone else's) is greatly appreciated. I hope I don't have to cross that bridge (demand new build), but I'll have no other choice if it comes down to it.

    What do I do now?

    No, I know no one else with any custom rifle. I'm the lone wolf in my extended family who shoots and my friend-base doesn't revolve around shooting. I did switch out the scope for the cheapo-Vortex setup that sits on top of my son's .223 Howa. No difference in group size. And the builder has...

    What do I do now?

    Yeah, my intention is not the drag the builder through the mud. He has not thrown in the towel yet, and he still has the rifle. He's been very nice so far, and I don't want to risk hurting anyone's reputation until they've had every attempt to make the situation right. This thread is about...

    What do I do now?

    Yeah, that was a fluke and requires a short story to explain: The recommendation to pull the brake off entirely was made after Covid had struck. All ranges were closed, and so we didn't get a chance to actually test it for a couple of months. I got an email in either May or June that my range...

    What do I do now?

    That's incredible nice of you to offer, thank you. I don't need it at this point, as I'm working with a custom ammunition maker who has already sent me over a dozen different loads (two different bullets, varying powder levels and I believe seating depths). Additionally, I don't have the...

    What do I do now?

    Brake was considered a possible issue back in March. Tried both removing it altogether, and Area 419 sent me a replacement. No change at all.

    What do I do now?

    Very funny you mention harmonics. I thought about that last night and sent an email to the builder today telling him to lop a half-inch or inch off the current barrel and see if that helps. I don't know what the second barrel is, he just said he was cutting a new barrel (my assumption is that...
