I'm meeting the guy this afternoon to look at it and shoot it. I've never heard of a bad gunwerks rifle
Fierce rifles?

Interesting. I didn't know you could do pre-fit's on Tikka's. I'd give the OP a great deal on a new in box TX3 ultralight, except he's in NZ.
How do you get the factory barrels off? I'm used to savage barrels that are easy.

That's worth it even if the barrel is shot out.
Rebarrel with a good smith or ship to GW and get them to do it.
go with Seekins, allterra, or Sako if you want to buy off the shelf. But building on a Borden is probably the best idea. I worked on a couple of fierce that were not shooting good, and I was very disappointed by their carbon barrel( inconsistent bore diameter and not very straight)

Tikkas are an awesome choice. I had one and built a 7saum off of it and threw a McMillan stock on it and a x-caliber 26" steel barrel on it and it hammers 180 eldms

I might be interested in your tikka

None of this is remotely true.
I also have a hard time believing that someone would buy 4 bad rifles from one source before they decided to move on to a new one.

I believe some of that is true, at least remotely, some of that is hearsay.
pretty sure Mogle worked for Christiansen. pretty sure he got caught taking an animal he wasn't supposed to, believe the game wardens had his trophy for quite some time because of it. the barrels out of Canada was technically true because the guns were made in Canada back in the day, at least the rifles all had Canadian import markings.
the in between drama who really knows and I hope most don't care.
I've shot a lot of his rifles over the years for clients and some have shot very well and some have gone back,
his earlier Canadian import guns on that sako action had fewer issues in my experience but he was making fewer models and rifles as well, his customer service is difficult to get help if you need it sometimes and other times had been very fast and responsive.
Listen to the fierce podcast. He literally tells the whole story. I might not have every fact correct off the top of my head but what I said is the gist.

They came out as a company that could deliver something similar to a custom rifle or a gunwerks
But for half the price
They never ever came close
From day 1 they had problems and it has never gotten better, in fact its getting worse

Yea I've always been told that if a deal seems too good to be true then it probably is.

I've wanted a Fierce rifle for a long time but the reviews are VERY hit and miss…at best. There are just too many other options out there to roll the dice on with a $3000 rifle purchase than a Fierce. I just bought a carbon barreled Springfield 2020 Boundary in 6.5PRC and it's back at the manufacturer right now because it wouldn't chamber factory ammo or hand loads
