Testimonials
Jim,
I hope you had a great vacation and caught some fish. I again want to thank you for meeting me on a Sunday to pick up my XP. It looks great. Your work is second to none, and I hope to deal with you again soon. Thanks again

Jim has done work on several of my guns. The most recent one is a Remington Sendero 300win. The gun was bedded, crown recut, 3port brake installed, adjustable cheek piece added, trigger job, lugs lapped, base, rings installed and lapped and the scope mounted. I am in the process of completing load development on the Sendero – Target below is 6 shots at 100 yards – includes the first fowling shot. 79gr H-1000 powder, CCI 250mag primers, Remington brass and Berger 185vld hunting bullets .03 off the lands. Always start low and work your way up with powder charges – this is a published max load – did not show pressure signs in my rifle.
Jim is currently building two rifle for me. The first is a Remington 700 in .223 the other is a Remington 700 in 300 win mag . Both guns will wear Brux barrels, cera koted, trigger work, bedded, blue printed, picitanny bases, rings(lapped) and scopes mounted. The 300 will sit in a Bell+Carlson Medalist Weatherby style stock, the 223 will be set back in its HS precision stock with an adjustable cheek piece.
My buddy has also had Jim work on several of his guns. He shares the same thoughts I do regarding Jim.
To make a long story short we both live just outside of Minneapolis. I know there are several good gunsmiths in my area. The two of us are so confident in Jims work that we are willing to drive 7 hours round trip to meet with Jim, drop parts off and pick guns up – 4 trips in 6 months. He always takes the time to work with us to make sure we get exactly what we need. He is great to work with and is a true craftsman.

Jim,
Just a quick update on my HS Precisions rifle you worked on. I tried H4831 as you advised, using Sierra 180 gr. spbt (to save money), increasing each load in .5 gr. increments and using standard LR primers. I shot at 100 yds. My expectations were low, but I felt required to try after your bedding work. Here's the results:
66.5 - 1.3"
67.0 - 1.4"
67.5 - .550"
68.0 - .346"
68.5 - .778"
69.0 - 1.4"
These were 3 shot groups. This is the first time this rifle ever showed a trend that suggested some kind of inherent accuracy (you clearly were dead on about the rifle's bedding problem). Thanks again for the quality work and solid advice! We'll be talking again in the near future.

Jim, I just wanted to drop you a line on where she's at. 69 grains RE-22, Fed 215, 110 Accubond running at 3455 average is producing well under 1/2 MOA at 300 yards. This has been tested by 3 different shooters with one being a 15 year. He is very excited to use it for the up coming youth hunt as I am for him. Then it will go to Colorado for 2nd season as my packing gun.
Thanks, Dave
Jim I can not say enough about the quality of the work you do. I am a machinist that doesnt have time to do any machining at this time. The 338 Win Mag factory barrel I sent you for a muscle brake shot extremely well before I sent it to you and shoots exactly the same now.The brake works so well on my wifes 338WSM Benchmark barrel that she thinks it joyful to shoot.Thank you and keep up the good work.

Jim I sent my Tikka 308 to you for accurizing. Finally got to the range today and these are my results. Let me just say the gun shoots far better than I do. Very pleased with my rifle,and you have a life long customer. Thanks again

Hello Jim,
I recently purchased and had your muscle brake installed. I put the brake on a savage model 12 in .270 wsm. Prior to the install there was no way to shoot this rifle with free recoil as it had fairly sharp and quick recoil with some muzzle jump as well. It was just a bit more than I wanted to hang onto for extended range time.
Since the brake install the rifle is definitely a “pussycat” to shoot and easy to control with the added benefit of no backblast whatsoever! I have fired other rifles equipped with muzzle brakes but most had an unpleasant backblast which in itself can lead to a dreaded flinch. Now becoming comfortable with this rifle has led me to a .194” group on my second 3 shot load development. Thanks again for a well designed product that actually does just what it was supposed to do with no hype whatsoever.
Cordially,
Chris P.
Jim
Yes the pics of the .308 came thru. I think it looks awesome. It looks as if it shoots great too.
I can't wait to get there and see it in person. I'm already planning my next build for you.
Thank you,
Greg W.
Jim,
I just wanted to say thanks for going the extra mile on my brake. I appreciate it. If you don't see some work from me directly you can be sure I'll
be sending a friend to you. Either way you'll get some work as a result of our transaction. There really are only a couple of you guys out there that
really care and now I know your one of them.
Thanks,
John M.
Jim-
Finally got out and shot the 6 BR. and as you can see it shoots great!!! Thanks again. Chris K.
Jim
Yes, Its here. It came on friday.
I went through the break in procedure on Friday night and Saturday. Last night I put 4 rounds in 1 hole at 200 yards. I moved to 400 yards and shot. The grouping was fantastic. The rifle is definitely a shooter.
Thanks for doing a great job. Greg W.
Hey Jim,
Rifle looks awesome you did a great job, got it in today at dinner. If I ever have any more smith work done it will definitely go to you.
Thanks again for doing a great job.

Jim- (Note, Rifles were factory and accurized at Center Shot.)
I got them in last week, I got the chance to shoot them, and my .308 shot MUCH better! Using factory ammunition, I shot 5 rounds. The first one was about an inch off of the rest, but the other 4 were .6" center to center from each other!! I can't wait to start working on a hand load for this rifle now. The other gun was shooting about .7", but the wind was picking up and it was more than likely the shooter not the gun. Thanks again!
Brian
Hey Jim,
The triggers just arrived. Thank you so much. I like the beer sleeve also, I'm sure it'll get used this weekend (campin'/bear hunting). Hopefully the cards will come in handy sooner than later. Once again I can't say how much I appreciate this. God bless.

Just thought I would post Rich Mertz's pistol shoot results, at least one of them. I hope you don't mind Ernie but here is your SP post.
"Erik (15 years old) shot a 5-shot group at 1,000 yards that measured 8 3/8" with 4 of the shots measuring under 3
inches. Erik was using my McMillan BR rear-grip stocked XP-100, chambered in 6.5-284/Brux barrel/chamber, brake,
and bedding work done by Jim See of Center Shot Rifles." And here one of our sponsors did the gunsmithing.
