    But, like I say, I'm still in negotiations with the Director, and I'd be a fool (or even more of a fool than I am already) to prematurely blab 'before' we finally get each other in a headlock!

    That's the real tragic thing about this whole affair. This was supposed to be the mother of all guns that'd finally end 'ALL' accuracy 'woes' for me (coming it at 1/2 MOA) so that I can finally fulfill my dreams of shooting out to 1,500m, rather, it's done nothing 'but' instill woes!

    I estimate I've got two more range sessions left at 100m, however, hitherto I've put through some 159 rounds in the name of 'load development' and so far the best (and extremely inconsistent, I must add) groups I've achieved have been around the 1" mark (or just over) ranging to 2 1/2" at 100m! I could throw stones more accurately, in other words!

    Basically I'm resigned to the fact that, yet again, I haven't got what I've wanted, and if the groups average out at 1 3/4" at 100m, then I'll just start testing them at extended ranges and determine where my maximum point blank range actually is!

    It's a shame when stuff like this happens as it puts people right off customs, I have had rifles built by Scott trail grant at Trueflite and Dean here in Tauranga and all have been good honest 1/2 Moa guns, I've had a ga precision built rifle that shot really well but we do have a few capable smiths right here in Nz

    I just takes good components & someone that knows what they are doing,

    Usually not that difficult in all reality, but every now & then it doesn't go to plan, that's manufacturing

    Shouldn't have sold this...http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...minator-25380/

    Now I have to decide what to make next

    I hope you get a favourable result

    Considering the money at stake here with what you have spent with the gunsmith there is no way in hell I would "wear it"
    You have legal rights and they need to be held accountable for their work, whether it be the agent, who in my opinion is answerable to you, the gun smith is then answerable to your 'agent'
    Hold them to task mate.

    Defiantly don't wear the cost. I would expect as others have said it to work perfectly. 1.5" groups from a custom is also not ok. It's not that hard to build a gun that will shoot small groups. Both I have built shoot the size groups your talking about at 300.

    Chase it up and be relentless! There are good smith's in NZ too

    If my new gun was breaking parts like that, it wouldn't be me looking for the replacement parts to fix it.

    Have a look at the debt collectors thread in off topic to see where perseverance can get you, and that was initally for $200
