Long story short, I purchased a semi custom .270 wsm from a well known bullet/rifle builder. It has been sent back twice for feeding issues. When I have 3 (Max) rounds in the mag and try to chamber the top round, periodically it pops the shell up and out of the rifle!
It takes on average 5 weeks for them to "fix" the rifle. Each time they send it back to me I am assured the rifle has been fixed and works properly. Although both times I received the rifle back the problem still exists.
On the last go round, they sent me some new custom ammo to feed through the rifle, thinking that my nickle plated factory ammo was the culprit. I found this to not be the case, it made no difference.
I have not yet called them back to tell them their custom ammo did not fix the problem. My question is, how do I handle this from here forward? I am more than ticked at this point. I have been very kind and more than patient, as they have been as well, but I'm not sure how much longer I can put up with this. I know if I come out guns blaring mad, they have all the power to tell me pound sand.
Am I justified to tell them to start fresh on a new one? Or keep sending this one back to be tinkered with? Should I allow it to take 5 more weeks? I need to get my hand loads figured out for this years hunts. These should ave been figured out this winter.
This is more than agrivating! Especially for what the rifle cost me.
