    The customer service at Gunworks was great, a pleasure to deal with.

    However I recieved my Sako back with the magazine jammed in the action, wont drop out without a screwdriver, and a ported muzzle break fitted that doesnt line up vertical when tight.

    So did you talk to them about it ? Offer them the opportunity to fix it ? Or just come on here and complain about it ?

    Got handed a "Fierce"308 this morning that a gunsmith mate of mine had shortened and suppressed. This thing looked like Mrs Sako and Mr Remington had had a one night stand. Looks like a Remington receiver and a Sako magazine and floor plate assembly. Shortened to 18 inches and certainly felt pretty good to handle.
    Dont waste your money, with a name like that thay will certainly get banned.

    Just send the entire rifle to KiwGreg, he will get a Ken Henderson stock built to suit and it will be bedded.

    My Sako spent 9 months with SouthFort waiting for the inletting to be modelled. In the end I got fed up waiting, went and collected it and sent it to KiwiGreg. He had a Ken Henderson stock for it within just a few weeks and the quality is second to none.

    Christ no, you get one chance to work on my stuff, fuck it up without reason, thats it no second chances to fuck it up even worse.

    Dairy farm support contractors view me as a volatile customer, with good reason. Let em away with anything and they'll do it forever

    No one is perfect. Gunworks have gone through some major adjustment in the last year or so. I am more than impressed and pleased they are still running.
    If you gave them a chance to rectify the issue before pulling them to bits on here I am sure you would have come away happy.

    Fierce rifles are obviously related to evil rifles.
    Police will be wanting to ban them.

    I've seen handbuilt wooden stocks with perfectly smooth, beautiful inletting. If that can be achieved with a chisel and sandpaper, then a mass produced carbon or fibreglass stock should be exceptional. For the price, I don't think you're getting much value with a Fierce. They don't look like $6-7k guns. Especially when for a few $k more you can have a custom rifle built by the best in the world, with far superior everything.

    $3500 would be a more realistic price for a Fierce.

    Easy to answer that Laurie Bradley in Timaru. Fantastic guy to deal with and a top gunsmith to boot.
