New Guy From Texas

Post by Bad Bob » Sun May 19, 2019 10:49 pm

Just joined. Bought a Long Ranger 6.5 Creedmoor last week. Trigger pull over 8#, Buttstock larger than recoil pad about 1/16" all sides.
On its way to the factory for warranty fix.
Far as I can tell this is the first Creedmoor Long Ranger to come into the Houston area.
I have a bolt action (Savage) I Creedmoor that is a lights out deer killer with 143 gr. ELD-X bullets.
Cant wait to see how I can do with a lever action in the same caliber...

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Hello & Welcome Bob, from the other state that starts with a T. Congrats on the new long Ranger.
Sorry to hear about the problems, like Al said they will get it right.
And have her back in no time.

.
Welcome from the TV Oregon!
I recently bought an LR in .223/5.56. It too went back for warranty work. Fast turnaround, more time on the road than getting fixed.

Hey, Bob! Welcome to the forum from KC, glad you're here! Sorry to hear of your "out of the box" issues, but, as you've read by now, what you'll get back will be better than new.

Keep us posted on how it performs after its spa visit and how it compares to your Savage!

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.
