Opinions of Rifles, Inc rifles?

codybrown · Jul 29, 2023

Have my eyes on one but looking to get some feedback. From what I've found searching so far, they can be a little difficult to deal with but the rifles themselves are of goof quality. Obviously since it's used I wouldn't have to deal with that aspect, I'm more interested in the accuracy portion. For something that starts at $3500 plus the customer supplied action, I'd expect no disappointments.

Does anyone own any of their rifles, and if so, any qualms with them?

Buddy has a 375 ai. Really great rifle. About ten years old.

I've sighted it in for him and handled it quite a bit. Very light but points and shoots very nice.

Any specific questions? What's your goal?

Mostly making sure I'm getting my money's worth before I drop a couple thousand on a used rifle.

My buddy's is a great lightweight carry rifle. Can handle 300 yards pretty easy but anything over that i would want some better ergonomics.

What components is it made from?

I would think Chad would stand behind a rifle he built.

Only specifics I know of are a Remington 700 action. Believe it's a lightweight strata model.

It sounded like you you looking at a $3500 price tag 9n a used rifle. That's probably a little high for a Rem 700 action.

I have a 300 RUM from Rifles Inc ( Lex Webernick). I have had it for 15 years and it is my "go to" for elk when I am going to burn some boot tread. They have been easy to deal with and produce a great rifle, bearing in mind the ultra light barrel. Three rounds at the range pretty much heats the barrel past maintaining sub 1/2 moa with handloads. Haven't needed a second shot in the field out to 500 yards (no shots taken). My rifle was built on a new 700 action. I can't say enough good things about Rifles Inc, their product, and their service.

Who is Chad? Did Lex Webernick sell his business? Maybe I've got the wrong company...Pleasanton, Tx. Thanks

Chad owns LRI. Long Rifles Inc. I think there was a little mix up in a previous post. Haven't dealt with Les, but LRI builds some nice stuff and generally has a quick turn around.

I personally wouldn't pay 3500.00 for anything built on a 700 action with what's available today.

To clarify, the rifle I'm looking at is from Rifles, Inc out of TX. I was referencing the base price he has on his website, the rifle I'm looking at is used and considerably less.

Oops! My bad. I thought you were talking about Long Rifles Inc. I didn't know there was a Rifles Inc.

They have a video on their FB page chambering a barrel in a steady rest. Will it work...absolutely...would it be my first choice...nope.

In stock rifles are $4k/$5k+ built on Remington actions.....that would be a tough one for me.
