Not a word via email or phone. My rifle has been in their hands since 12/29/21. I was emailed on 12/30 saying it was in hand. I replied and asked when the others had arrived. I was told one the day before me (assume Jeff, and the other the same day as mine assume yours Wapiti)
Not a dang thing other than what I have posted. Last email was monday. I don’t care if they are small or it’s covid or whatever. They made a really dumb mistake and will not say sorry, or own you to it or how and when they are going to fix it. My take away is this. They don’t care or they don’t know any better. I asked very specific questions on Monday and was told those questions would be asked to management and the owner and David would get back. Nothing.
Good luck man. Fierce had an awesome build on their Instagram page today. Carbon Rival, 6.5 PRC. Burnt bronze cerakote.
According to Nosler, no not all PRCs are having the issue. They have told myself and another in this thread that it is a 1-8 gun issue. idk.... My gun, is a question mark still...haven't had the ammo yet to cycle. Should know within a week or so if mine is impacted. No matter if your gun is impacted or not, I would call...tell them you have one and would like to get on the list for a new spring (if that's the problem) when they finish them. If your gun does have the problem...that's where you need to decide if you'll send it back, or hang on to it. Me, I will hang onto mine if it has issues until Nosler can say what exactly is wrong. I can still shoot it if I just load one or two. Nosler will come up with the fix, and hopefully send it out to all owners. I'm confident they will make it right...just feel back for the guys here that don't have their rifles right now, and aren't hearing much.
They say it’s 1-8 but my guess is it’s 1-8 that they know of. Lots of guns sitting in boxes out there that haven’t been tested yet. The reps didn’t say anything cause the didn’t know. They didn’t know cause nobody at the factory tested them.
I was told Twice in two different emails that the questions I had asked would be and then had been asked to the owners and management. Those questions were, how long will this take, what exactly are you doing to fix it, and can I have a refund or swap for a different caliber? Been two weeks and still no answer. The owners and management don’t care obviously. Meanwhile this thread and others will trend and cost them business.
I was told 1-8 on it. I ordered another and it should be in any time... so we will test the theory.. If I get 2 with the same issue, I'd say I'm either the unluckiest person ever.. or it's way more...
Where is your local dealer getting the rifle? If it’s from Davidson’s I’d feel okay waiting to see if it works (if it’s messed up they will issue your dealer a credit and you’ll be refunded). Fingers crossed but not betting on it. If the order is waiting for inventory availability I’d cancel it or switch calibers.
Ya, I talked to the dealer this afternoon. The/my rifle came in today. I did not come from Davidson's. He told me the distributer's name, but I did not catch it, but from Minnesota. Here in the rural land, I live about 40 Miles from the gun shop. Planning on going there Saturday. I do have some Hornady ELD M factory loads to bring with me. I will try cycling a few rounds at the shop.
That’s a good idea. Reread these posts to fully understand what to look for. If you jam 3 rounds into the mag the first will feed. The second (left side of box) will either feed very roughly or the bolt will ride over top of the round. Do this test many times as it can fool you once or twice. With the round on the left side of the box you can pivot the round on its shoulder where it contacts the receiver.
If you want a resolution, stop giving them options. When you give them options, they float all of them to the respective departments, which will only delay your satisfaction.
