I talked toHCR today. They arefinished withmy Sako that I sent them back in February and are shipping it back to me this week. I had them put a new Lilja barrel on it chambered for the .300 Win Mag. This is the first time I've dealt with them on anything, so I can't really speak to your post. However, I can say that they were highly recommended, which is why I sent them this rifle. I hope it gets here before this weekend so I can take it out for a spin.
