Boring Barrel Update
Boring Barrel Update You may remember my post from earlier this month, where I bitched about receiving a defective barrel for one of my rifles and the manufacturer being apathetic at best. Or you may not remember it; no one would blame you. Ordinarily, I wouldn't post an update about this sort of thing, but today the manufacturer changed my mind. The super fast Readers Digest (does anyone remember that mag?) version is they received the obviously barrel on 9/2, but didn't bother to check it in until 9/9, at which point I received notification it would be inspected in 7-10 business days. No surprise, that window passed, so I decided to hammer them on social media over the weekend. They'd just posted something on insta and I replied with some unpleasant comments about their shit quality and zero fucks about customers. They asked for my RMA, which I provided, then responded it had been shipped last week. I asked for a tracking number, but they were done talking to me. Fast forward to today, when I received a note from their zero personality customer service person, indicating the barrel shipped today. So, in addition to making garbage, they're liars. Had it just taken forever to get a replacement, I'd have chalked it up to their abysmal customer care, but lying to a customer on social media to conceal it...that's really beyond the pale. Needless to say, I've shared their dearth of ethics with an appropriately wide audience. In that same post, I also shared my extremely responsible and logical purchase of a long range precision rifle. I needed something to shoot! My motivation for that purchase was to be able to participate in my club's 600 yard shooting nights. The rifle that was down could have handled it, but...it was down. For some context, the farthest I've ever shot a gun was 300 yards, and that was only recently. So, this was a big step. So, last Wednesday, I loaded up my new rifle and joined the group. (Same one that agreed with vaccine mandates) The good news is I shot pretty well. There's some room for improvement, but that should be addressed with greater concentration. We have a target system that shows your hits, real time, on your phone, so after every shot, I picked my head up to see where I was hitting and to think 'I'm hitting a target over a<b> third </font></b>of a mile away!'. Neither of those actions are beneficial for accuracy. |

It's frustrating as hell when you know you're getting the runaround. Obviously some companies are over their heads trying to keep up but a little ethics in dealing with customers would go a long way. Good luck with your shooting!!

Customer service at its finest.......bah! A bit like a.f.f sometimes!! It must take a huge amount of concentration and skill to hit long range targets, I think I'd enjoy having a go at that.
