Abby,

I had an opportunity to shoot my new rifle Wednesday morning..... it is great!

I have been shooting a "tuned" Remington PISS for the last several years with reasonable success.  Quarter MOA groups were not unusual; however, averaging all of the group sizes for a given day of shooting always seemed to result in an average somewhere just under one MOA..... Just good enough to make me wonder if the rifle or my skills were the limiting factor.  That curiosity and a personal taste for excellence in engineering led me to contract with IBA for one of your Super Grade Tactical rifles.  I did quite a bit of "window shopping" before selecting IBA as the "best bang for the buck".

I made contact and placed my order in August 2007...... waited an agonizing seven months..... and then received my rifle last week.

The wait was worth it!  I am far from an expert marksman; however, this rifle did a lot to make my skills look better.  I was limited to 100yards Wednesday.  Conditions were overcast with a gusting wind 6-13mph from 11 o'clock.  I shot nine groups of three Federal GM (168gr) rounds over the course of 90 minutes of shooting.  I had one group as small as 0.24 inch and one as large as 1.02 inch (I called a flinch for the large group).  The average for all groups was just over 0.58 inches..... a big improvement over my PSS.  I am now completely confident that any error I see in POI is the result of my personal error, not the rifle!

I also experienced the unexpected benefit of the barrel's extra weight as it helped keep me on the target throughout the follow through periods.

After the first range session my assessment is:  Great rifle, extremely well made to tight tolerances, great workmanship!  The rifle was worth every penny and more......!

Thanks again,
Don Davis

Dear Abby:

My ammo arrived today in perfect order; top-notch service, same as last time.

It is truly a pleasure doing business with your company.

Thank you.

Dear Iron Brigade Armory Staff,

     I just received my black, "Death From Afar" T-shirt, and have got to tell you, it is simply awesome! As a former USMC Scout/Sniper (8541), you guys definitely know what we fellow shooters want and need! Thank you very much for such a terrific product and keep up the great work! Next on the ol' shopping list looks like either the MEUSOC .45 or the Chandler Rifle. Thanks again!

Semper Fi,

Eric

Dude,
         hey -- wanted to follow up with you and say THANKS for the Chandler .338LM "thumper".

I had been to your shop many times in the past, and saw those rifles being groomed one last time, those nice storm cases cut to exacting fit, all the tools, books, etc put in their place, one last look, yet again, then finally sent out.

I often wondered what the person on the other end thought when they opened that box for the first time... It's dam nice Dude! Dam nice!... I looked at the address label to make sure it was mine... not a transfer for someone else -- this one's mine... I'm proud to own it, and will be proud to display/demo for folks that are interested...I consider myself blessed/fortunate to have one of these...


Take care man,

Ken Hunter

Norm,

I like the up-grade of your web site. 

Here is a note for any potential customers:

I would like your interested customers to know that you have a great business. I have made many purchases from IBA and have found that if they carry it, it is top of the line--from log books to bullets.

If they make it, you can't find better!! The IBA management conducts each transaction with honesty and integrity and maintains good communication.

I have been an IBA customer for the last few years and am the proud owner of Chandler Snipers #442 in .308 and #500 in .338 LM.  Both rifles are equipped with Night Force scopes and Surefire suppressors.  These systems are more capable than IBA advertised. They will fire sub 1/4" moa. 

I have chornographed both systems with and without the Surefire suppressor. They perform as good or better than advertised. With a suppressor installed there is an increase in velocity, no "0" shift, and a considerable drop in felt recoil and decibels.  I must say that the Col. dialed in my .338, and that rifle literally shoots "point of aim, point of impact"-- like X marks the spot. Unreal!  IBA is First Class!

Norm, if you have any interested customers in my area, I would be glad to let them have a look at your products and maybe have a "squeeze".
