Well, close was a near bullseye on the first shot; only some fine adjustment was needed. Jim took extra care to mount it correctly with a shim that made it very secure.

I would highly recommend Elite Rifle Works.

I wanted a WWI Mauser barrel shortened to produce a more modern Scout rifle with a muzzle break. But after considering the rifle's setup and their lath requirements, we decided that I would be better off using another Mauser for my goal. Their shop looks like a place I would love to go thru and see what treasurers are hiding there. At first glance, it looks sort of discombobulatedly organized.. But after glancing around, I can see the method to their organization. In fact, I was looking for an old set of scope rings for an old .22 rifle sold back then by Sears (they don't sell guns anymore). Jim went thru his stash and found one that would work after looking at a half dozen or more. He also told me how to repair a slight split in the stock. Lots of good advice along with the old set of scope rings. Elite also works on other guns besides bolt actions. Also has a stash of old knives and I don't know what else. I will use them again if I have need for their expertise. Nice guys and knowledgable.

We walked in and I started scanning the cases to see what they had. I wasn't asked, can I help you ma'am, not even a look my way.

I went in to see if I could simply trade it in towards something that I wanted. I would've gladly taken almost any offer and made up the balance on a new gun. The store was completely empty, and a young man walked out and said "can I help you" and proceeded to walk over to a computer and start typing at it and I asked him are you in the middle of something, are you helping me? It was so awkward...I said, I'd like to trade in a new unfired gun that I won here in a raffle and put it towards purchasing something here that I'd actually like to own. He told me "that gun was most likely donated by our vendor and we have no interest in buying it back". I said to him so that's it. We're done here? He responded back "yes". I said "would you like to check with the owner before you just dismiss me? "He said "I'm the manager and I make the decisions" His tone was so dismissive and I felt so disrespected. Given that it was a holiday week and a Friday and the store was completely empty and the selection of guns was so sparse. I can't help but think that MidStar arms isn't doing that great. I worked in Customer Service for almost 4 decades, and this manager was very dismissive and disrespectful. I completely realize it's my decision to no longer give them any of my business because there are just way too many local gun shops that treat their customers with more respect. Definitely not a strong move to make your customers feel so unimportant. I personally will make sure to tell all my friends to please bring their business elsewhere.
