Re: Competitive Edge Gunworks Floating Action
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: KYshooter338$</div><div class="ubbcode-body">At $1450.00 for a short action he can keep that. The machining behind the lug looks like crap. For that kind of money you would think you could clean up those tooling marks!
His chassis system looks like a torture device.....
I will stick with Surgeon, Templar, Badger M2008! </div></div>
In fairness, as I have nothing to gain:
I believe what you see in the picture is the heat treat temper marks. You will see it near the bolt knob knotch pretty clearly as well. I don't believe it is tooling marks, and until I hold one and can inspect it in person I personally would refrain from saying a disparaging comment about someone's product. Especially in the age where rumors and hyperboyle can run at the speed of light.
The thought that the owner would allow for a flawed example of his work to be posted on his website runs contrary to the most rudimentary common sense. One would expect that only the best example of ones work would be used in their advertising. So again, I seriously doubt that those are tooling marks.
As for price have you checked the price for any of the actions that you had listed? The listed price for Surgeon 591 actions at Brownells is:
$1,461 so to me his prices are inline as an alternative.
This thread was intended to solicite the actual first hand ownershp/shooting impressions of the product and get a bead on the company's customer service.
Spreading misinformation, guesses, or arm chair speculation brings nothing to the table when hard facts are sought.
The chassis that he has pictured are made by two different vendors:

and
John Plaster Stocks
He also features this one quite a bit as well
