The Sept. issue of Shooting Times did a review on HCR. The author used their servies and was pleased and tested their Harvester complete rifle. They report very high quality work, nothing against HCR at all but when is the last time Shooting Times wrote anything even slightly negative about anything? I am with bigcountry, HCR is doing nothing special that a good local smith can't do upon request. . . . good luck finding one however! Solitary Man - it sounds like you have one nice tack driver there!
