Little back story on the gun, I had a 270ai built about 5 yrs ago, wasn't ever able to get it to shoot as well as I would have liked, and it only seemed to shoot 110grn bullets decently. After having enough of being frustrated I took it into ks to have them rebarrel the rifle, old barrel was spun off and it was a gain twist finishing somewhere around 1:12, not what I had asked for but not worth getting upset about.
Mike and Karl had my gun for about 2 months, and it came back exactly as I had wanted. Barrel matched the original contour for the custom stock perfectly. Nitride barrel finish matched the action almost perfectly. Over the course of the work they discovered some issues with the bolt I had supplied, and as they were already going to be machining the bolt face they provided me with a new magnum bolt, mated to my action.
Throughout the entire process mike was keeping me in the loop as to what was going on, and overall I'm very happy with the work they've done.

Tuesday I got out for my second range session doing some load development and things are shaping up nicely. 100 meters, 3 shots per target.
I haven't ran any reloads over a chrono yet, im waiting for my magnetospeed to arrive but will update when I get it. As of right now I'll be loading 6 rounds of #4,#6 and #9 and testing consistency on them before I make a final decision on what load to stick with.
All in all I'm very happy with the work ks has done for me, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, as for me, they'll definitely be working on my next project.
