Just letting you know Sunday shot the Ft. Knox 1000yd match in F Class. Wind was doing weird things all day long, a lot of water laying around so mirage was pretty bad. Managed to shoot a 370-2X (185-2X and 185) and win both 20 round matches and the overall aggregate. In 6 matches I've won 3 with that rifle. Also with only having shot probably 5 rounds prior with it my brother jumped on the rifle in the second match and shot a 182-4X with it finishing I believe 3rd in the second match. Shawn Agne

Just an update, the .308 that you recently tuned is KILLER. It shot 1/2 min out to 700 yrds today. The best 100yrd group was .260" w/45 varget 175 smk lapua brass. I also found time to break in the 300wm, lets just say she was also a one holer with GMFED. I only found time to sight in at a 100 yrds, cant wait to see what she will do L.R. Well done George, keep up the good work. Tim Tucker

Just wanted to let you know my rifle,a 308 with aics stock and 20" barrel will shoot everything including some 308 fmj ammo from lc86 made for m-60 into a half inch or less. Most ammo will shoot into one hole group at 100 yards. Thanks again for the excellent work. Dennis Ivey

George, I just wanted to let you know how my rifle shoots.I have fired 220 rounds exactly to date. Your half minute guarantee is conservative, this is a quarter minute rifle. The 22 inch barrel you installed is amazing, this barrel does not foul. Velocity is within 100 fps of my 26 inch Remington PSS with 175 match kings. I have fired the rifle several times at 1000 yards. I am 34 MOA up at 1K with a 100yd zero 20MOA Badger base and 8-32X Nightforce NXS. This thing is a dream to shoot, my Wife who never shoots routinely rings the 1K gong. I placed an order with you and you delivered 110% to my requests and expectations. The rifle functions 100%. Not one problem with fit or function whatsoever. The rifle is worth every penny spent. I wanted to express my gratitude to you and your crew for your proffesionalism as craftsmen, you have earned a life long customer and friend. Billy Taylor, Boomsticks & Ammo

Just a quick note to let you know that if you ever stop making custom rifles I am going to be very upset! I just finished shooting an 1 3/8" group at 700 yards with a 260 AI built by GA earlier this year. Not only does the rifle shoot ridiculously well, everything was done in only three weeks!! Holy cow. Nobody has that fast of a turnaround - truly awesome work. I strongly recommend GA to anyone looking for a riflesmith. These guys know how to build rifles, period. Bret Heidkamp

George, due to illness I was unable to shoot the 338 you guys rebarreled until today. One word-UNBELIEVABLE! Fantastic job - the guys that say the 338LM won't shoot at 100-300 yards - don't know what they are talking about. After the somewhat tedious but necessary breakin and just getting around to shooting several 5 shot groups accuracy is beyond my expectations. All loads, both 250 gr. and 300 gr. bullets simply amazed me. That is one outstanding combination the original Lilja barrel NEVER was even close. Thanks again, I can't wait to see that 300WM you guys are building. Kudos and accolades to your fine staff. Todd J. Bertolini

You build a truly fantastic rifle! My match AR10 is a tack driver. I am not a precision rifle shot, as many of my friends will attest. That said, I was able to put three shots in a 3-3/4” group at 1000 yards on Range 4 at MCB Quantico. It was a perfect day for shooting - there was no wind, but it was shot off of a Harris bipod, not bags! The rounds were 175 grain SMK. It was witnessed by a couple of people that I’d be glad to refer you to. The group was testament to how accurate a rifle you build, as I am not a long range competitor or bench rest shooter.

I shot yesterday against 12 guns at 300 yards and I won with highest score and best group. I was only looing for 1/4" groups at 100 yards out of this rifle and I can shoot 1/2" to 5/8" groupts at 300 yards. I think the only way I can make it shoot any better is more scope. I had a 100 yard 4 shot group measuring with a 10x comparator at ".058" sweet. James

Just wanted to say that your rifle, that you built for me... is the best .308 I have ever shot. Also, let some of the other guys from the Dept. shoot the rifle. They also felt the same way!!!!! Boy you guys got your (stuff) together down there at your shop!!! Even know that this gun cost a lot of money, its worth every penny!!!! I'm sure in May for sniper school, I should be top gun with this rifle... after the break-in, I did a 25 yard zero and let me tell you the bullets kept on shooting through the same hole. The one Officer told me, "I'd hate to be on the business end of that rifle." Brett, Wakeman Police Dept.

I received my rifle on the 22nd. It is even better than I expected. I am extremely pleased with it. I just wanted to thank you for your work and patience with me. I greatly appreciate your work and the speed in which the rifle was completed. I look forward in shooting the masterpiece. Thank you again. Casey, Stephenville Police Dept.

... Finally got the .308 that you rechambered and bedded for me out to the range and rezeroed the scope to it. To say that I am pleased would be an understatement. Once again I have to say thanks! Maybe I'll take it down to AEDC and shoot it in the F class match this coming weekend. I don't shoot .308 much anymore as I have gotten real spoiled with the 6.5/284 . If you recall you barreled that one also. As soon as I receive the barrel from Gary, I will be sending you another one of my projects. It's going to be a 260 medium weight barrel, hunting rifle in a McMillan HTG stock. Once again, Thanks! Tim

I thought I would pass on a recent experience. If you remember, I had you build me a Rock on the factory laminate stock about 2 years ago. I subsequently moved it to an HS Precision 40x style stock. Of course, it has a Badger scope base and I mounted a Leupold 6.5-20x50 LRT with Warne QD Maxima rings. While climbing into a tall tower blind about a month ago, (it) slipped off my shoulder and fell 20 feet to the ground. I think it hit more or less muzzle first as it had about an inch of mud in the barrel. Needless to say, I was (unhappy). I went back to my truck and used my cleaning rod and a couple of dry patches to push out the mud and proceeded to hunt. After the morning hunt, I went back to camp where we have a 100yrd range and threw it over the hood of the truck on a backpack and proceeded to shoot a 3 shot group well under .5 MOA at exactly the same zero point as I had previously sighted in at. As a side note, my son Matthew shot a doe this year with his GA 300WSM at a laser documented 685 yards. With about 2mph cross wind, 13.75 MOA from a 100 yard zero and his dad spotting for him, he held on the front of the chest and placed a perfect heart/lung shot. This with a handloaded 165 grain Hornady Interbond chronographed at 3134 fps at the muzzle. I keep giving your number to guys around Dallas. I hope you're getting some business as a result of one very happy customer. Dale

Just a brief note to thank you and your guys for an outstanding rifle. Passed the 300 round mark this morning going 5 for 5 on each of my 600 and 900 yard gongs, conditions 49 degrees, 30% humidity, bright haze, and 17-25 mph wind from 9 o'clock. Gongs are 12"x18" and while groups this morning were only moa, they are substantially better in carrier conditions. The wind resistant capabilities of the 142gr matchking in this round are amazing, beating out the 190s in .308 and 107s in 6mm by a fair margin at longer ranges. It doesn't hurt that my load with H4350 has a SD of 6, but this rifle definitely puts them in there if the shooter does his part. I have a couple of safes full of rifles, but the quality of your work, the great turn-around time, and reasonable prices insure that I will be dealing with you for any and all long range rifle needs in the future. I will also recommend your shop to anyone looking for a great long gun without hesitation. Thanks again! James

I would just like to thank you for all the work you have done. The rifle (300 Win Mag) arrived in record time and I couldn't be more satisfied with it. The rifle is beautiful, even tho I have not had the chance to shoot it yet there is no doubt in my mind that the gun will perform just as it should. This weapon is a work of art and I am proud to own a weapon built by the hard working people of GA Precision. I hope to do business with you again. Many thanks. Mike
