I had never heard of pucker factor before this morning.
General feel is he is a stand up guy to do business with?

He is/was a Defiance dealer. Defiance sent me to him when I was looking for something specific in stock somewhere. I’ll add Defiance seemed to know him well and recommended him with another I do know fairly well in my search.

Thanks

They will do anything steel. No springs.
The bolt shroud is aluminum.
$125 is what he has posted. I doubt that includes shipping.

Does not include shipping. They wait to accumulate 8 actions for a batch. Batches go in every 2 weeks or so.
$125 You send him a stripped action. Action body, bolt, external bolt release and shroud (steel only) are included. A pic rail (steel only) is included in that price as well.
$125 + $25 For an assembled action. They strip and re-assemble.
$50 bolt only.

Nice

Did you talk to him?
I haven't had time to call.

Wonder if he could also blast it for me so its matte.

Unfortunate name.

I would laugh and keep scrolling.

I kind of like off-the-wall companies, as long as their reputations are solid. I’d perform my due diligence like you’re doing, but I wouldn’t necessarily be scared off by a quirky company name.

No kidding,who cares what there name is.

Better late than never - Brian at "Pucker Factor" yes the name can be somewhat off-putting, But Brian is an outstanding gunsmith and built me an amazing 6.5 PRC with Defiance Action, 20 "Proof carbon barrel in a XLR Folding Element 4.0 MG chassis. He added one his custom Titanium brakes. His craftsmanship is outstanding, he always returns calls promptly and hit all time frames. He also diagnosed my optic was not holding zero, he saved me a boat load of time and ammo. The rifle is a tack driver out to 500, I don't shoot beyond that distance. The rifle as taken elk, deer and pigs. Can't recommend him enough.

He gets 10/10 for a memorable name! Lol

But Brian is an outstanding gunsmith

And he answers the phone and or returns messages promptly!

I have and it went great. I called him while on a road trip and he asked if he could call back on Monday afternoon.

He did just that, I bought an action and it was in the mail the next day.

Not trying to derail, do you mind me asking what optic was failing to hold zero? Was it the pictured Razor?

Yes!! Brian at Pucker Factor is an outstanding person and gunsmith. This past year, he built a rifle for my buddy, my buddies son and I, as well as this year, is finishing up a build for a coworker.

I'd highly recommend reaching out to him, he is very easy to talk to and helpful.

I’ll be taking possession of my 7PRC in the next couple of weeks or so. We are using factory loads and it didn’t like the Hornady and he was not pleased with the groups. Stopped by his shop this morning before I head back out to work and decided to look in to Norma, Nosler and Federal. He order some up and should be able to come up with something in the next week or so. If not, we will do hand loads. Brian has been nothing but responsive and has gone out of his way to keep me updated on things. He’s taken my calls or returned them promptly and I can’t ask for anything more.

Love the way the rifle feels balance-wise. Looking forward to getting it out and seeing how well I can shoot it. This is more fun than I’ll ever need, I think

I should say that this more gun than I’ll ever need. Not sure why autocorrect feels the need to change gun to fun
