Mike kinda hit it...sorta. My reasons for my statement above.

1. Every few months a thread like this starts with someone asking about having trouble contacting SSS. Invariably some disgruntled past customer (or customers) have to chime in and grind the axe a little by badmouthing SSS. As a result this leads to many satisfied SSS customers replying to defend SSS - and in the end it just snowballs into one big pissing match that accomplishes nothing other than to pit members against members.

2. If you have issues with SSS take it up with SSS. I can't help you resolve the problem, nor can anyone else here on the forum help you resolve the problem. Coming on here and pissing/moaning about poor C/S, long waits, etc doesn't accomplish anything other than making you look like a whiner.

3. Yes they're hard to get through to on the phone - that's no secret. If you've been frequenting this forum or a number of others for any length of time you would have been well aware of that when you ordered so don't act all surprised when you have a hard time getting through to them after the fact.


If it were me and my business, and everyone here treated me like they have SSS over the last several years after all I've done to help educated and inform them via this site I can tell you exactly what I would do. I would discontinue all sales of parts/accessories and go solely to building complete custom Savage rifles. No barrel orders, no stock orders, no replacement parts, no triggers, not nothing - unless it's a complete custom build. After all, no one complains about all the gunsmiths who take 2-3 years to complete a custom gun for a customer. My phone wouldn't be ringing off the hook day in and day out, I wouldn't get 500-1000 emails a day filled with ridiculous questions from tire kickers, and I surely wouldn't be out in the shop working until 2-3am every night trying to keep up.

Lucky for you all I'm not Fred huh?

That was taken from here...
