I dont know if any other smiths guarantee there work in NZ

I know of others mate had a full custom built in 7 saum no mater what cold bore was always off then it would print lovely little groups it went back for examination had multiple loads put threw it they found the same so chambered him a new barrel out of stock that shot fantastically importer contacted proof and dealt with the refund which I believe was pain free . That how ever is one positive result from a custom job compared to a long list of negatives iv had a few tikkas with bartliens (always to get a non factory chambering) never being disappointed
