ADAMS CUSTOM RIFLES/TIKKA/6.5CM

[mark5pt56]

Big shout out for Dennis @ http://www.adamscustomrifles.com/ He just delivered, that's right, delivered the Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor today. I wanted to standardize some things and elected to rebarrel the CTR from .260 to 6.5CM. I do reload but wanted that factory option also. All I can say is be confident with his work, patience and communication. We spoke on the phone to hammer out exactly what I wanted in the build and he kept communication updates throughout the entire time. I would say he went above and beyond in that realm.

I took this as a great opportunity to install the Tikka Performance 20moa rail since he removed the stock 0moa one and the the whatever bonding agent they put on these things. The fluting is awesome, flat medium twist-even check out the red safety indicator dot!

Once again, thanks Dennis!

Hope to get to the range Sunday, if not one day next week, towards the end and start collecting data. Going with factory AMAX first to make brass!

You're lucky. I sent him a $1,600 rifle to get the barrel threaded and cerakoted. That was over a year ago. In case you missed that, I said that was over, OVER A YEAR AGO.

I see—I didn’t say anything negative in my post- I would just find out what was going on— I bet I could figure out the password

ShooterGavon, you have to keep trying to contact him. Eventually he'll get back to you.That's what I had to do. Not the way it should be, but it is what it is.

I'm a patient guy but I'm about at my wits end with gunsmithing profession right now.

How did a post from 2015 show up to start a thread?
Did the original poster have to repost it?
Just curious
