Pierce action review

[284winner]

Actually, it turned out it that the cerakote wasn't the issue, it was something much easier than that. There were witness marks on the bolt, by using some 800 grit paper and rubbing it where the marks were it wore down just enough (maybe 1K) that the bolt opened and closed smooth as butter. IMO that if I buy an action from Pierce and pay them to build the rifle, you would think that they would take the time to properly fit the bolt to their action, wouldn't you? Well..., they didn't and that reflects badly on Pierce.

I'm not the only guy that this has happened to, if you search through the postings you will find others that have had the same exact issue and I've told them how to resolve it. If I were looking for a moderately priced action now, I would buy a complete action from Pacific Tool and Gage instead of Pierce and save myself $500 in the process. http://pacifictoolandgauge.com/292-ptg-blueprinted-short-action-combo-s-700

I have a 6mm DASHER that Pierce Engineering built for me that is soooo much fun to shoot because it is so accurate. I could not be happier with Jim & Jim at Pierce Engineering.

Beautiful gun. I haven't been in the shop since John retired. Just not the same.
