"All I can say about my [Tactilite T1] .338 Lapua is WOW! First shot ever, cold clean barrel, a bit of luck with the math on my scope, and it fired a perfect 'pinwheel' on a 3" target at 500 yds! Amazing! Even for me, as I have handled many 'sniper' quality rifles. Astounded, the 'break in' procedure went out the window. I fired the full 20 round box. Towards the very end, as it took awhile to heat up that thick barrel, it started to 'walk' just a bit vertically. Plus, I was pleasantly surprised at the solid but non-punishing recoil. My son was firing his AR-10 in 308, and it hurt us far more than the 338." - Ken B., Kentood, MI

"The Tactilite 50 BMG upper is a high quality, accurate piece of equipment.... The upper performed as advertised and I was impressed with the accuracy. I used a variety of different loads with best group at 1/2 minute and most groups around 1 minute." - Dave M., Leadore, ID 

 "I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you happy I am to have received the Tactilite T1 (.338 Lapua Mag) . It is everything that I hoped it would be. I have been working up loads for the rifle since October with GREAT success. The upgrade in barrels has been well worth the investment. Zel Custom's attention to detail and prompt response has generated an interest to purchase a .50 Cal upper. By spring I will have the loads put together to shoot matches at the Whittington center and other fine ranges around the area. Again, thank you for producing a great product" - George A., Denver Metro SWAT (Ret).  (George called to report that he shot a sub 4" group at 1000 yards under very windy conditions.)

"I love my Tactilite [T1 .416 Barrett]. Recoil is gentle but the blast is awe inspiring. When that thing hits the steel plate at 400 yards you could hear it for miles and it bent the target sideways...and it's anchored with a 4' post! It was incredible. I don't know when I've had so much fun.... Thanks for building me the ultimate boom stick." - Geoff C., Valley Village, CA 

"It is a GREAT piece of workmanship." - Jim B., New Hope, PA 

"I'm still working on range accuracy reports and so far this gun has proven to be very accurate. I still need a little time to finish gathering data. Have recently shot three shot group at 450 yds. that averaged 1.53". This was done under very windy conditions." -Karl R., Nederland, TX 

"I'm a life-long shooter and gun owner and have seen lots of guns of all types and makes. My nicest rifle is my G.A. Precision 'Crusader' and it's perfect. Having had the chance to go over my T1, I'd have to say it's every bit as nice as the GAP. In short, I can't find any fault whatsoever with the quality, fit or finish of the T1. It's perfect." - Roger C., Sacramento, CA 

"[A]ll I can say is 'WOW'. What a great product your clips on utube don't hold a candle to what you have done... [T]he wait was well worth it. Thanks for a great product, and it's made in America. I'm like a kid with his first 22." - Mike H., Los Alamitos, CA 

"Our [Tactilite T1] .50 cal quickly became our favorite rifle. From the first shot, I knew it was mine. Both of my sons love it as do their friends that we take down to Brown county, Indiana, to enjoy a day of target practice. It is amazing how little recoil is felt (more of a gentle shove than anything). Thanks for the quality craftsmanship and performance it offers." - Gregg N., Indianapolis, IN 

"When you pick it [Tactilite T1 SuperMatch, .50 BMG] up you can immediately feel the quality craftsmanship and it quickly sets itself apart from its competitors.... [A]t the range it delivers impressive results with sub-MOA accuracy at 1000 yds.... The Tactilite is one bad-a** m***-f***in' rifle!" - Dean M., Edwards, CO 

"I put my weapon together, took it out in the field fired it three times at a 50, 100 and 150 yards. All of my points of impact were with in three inches of the center, this was just after mounting the scope. I was impressed with the performance I had while in my zeroing and break in process. I am going to take it out again in the next week and get a bench rest zero for 200 yards. It looks, shoots and feels awesome, better quality than the [competitor] I once had." He writes back, "I LOVE it." - Ryan C., Taylorsville, UT 

"There are several government test engineers here along with other contractor scientists like myself. Everyone got to shoulder fire the Tactilite yesterday and had a riot!" - Bryan B., Centennial, CO 

"Awesome rifle." - Joe C., Cumberland, RI 

"Just wanted to say a big 'Thank You'. I picked up the lower and accessories today and everything fit perfect. Easy assembly and break down... WOW" - Warren B., Helena, AL 

"I could not be happier.... My [Tactilite T1] .416 is definitely my most accurate rifle.... When I take some really long shots, I KNOW my Tactilite will easily be able to perform and be on target. In my eyes, less felt recoil than any 12 gauge shotguns I've shot.... Your company's customer service is TOP NOTCH." - Andy D., Yucca Valley, CA 

"I bought a Tactilite T2 (.50 BMG) upper to take overseas with me. I work as a contractor. This system works great. Functioned great in sand and mud. I would highly recommend this system to military or long distance shooters. Capable of hitting man size targets out to 1500 meters." - Sean E., Sioux Falls, SD 

"The craftsmanship of my upper is outstanding. The mounting of this upper to my lower took about 10 minutes and was extremely simple. The recoil from this gun is surprisingly much less than I anticipated. I've put as many as 50 rounds down range in one setting without feeling too "shell-shocked". I could not be happier with the accuracy and reliability of my rifle. The customer service with Zel Custom is some of the fastest and most prompt that I've delt with in a very long time. This upper is certainly one of my best gun investments." - Link C., Elk City, OK 

"Performance was awesome! Didn't miss a beat. Truly a exceptional performance long range rifle."  - Kevin M., Yucaipa, CA 

"I have been very pleased with my purchase of my Tactilite .50 cal. The rifle has been truly accurate and reliable after shooting over 100 rounds through it. My favorite part about the rifle is how light it is compared to other makes, yet it offers a very reasonable recoil similar to that of a 12 guage shotgun perhaps. The rifle looks great and always catches the eye of those around me at the shooting ranges. Thanks for a quality rifle at a great price point!" - Matt N., Anchorage, AK 

"I am an avid firearm enthusiast, especially long range rifles. I have been amazed by the .50 BMG for years. I have held or shot about every .50 BMG out there at one time or another, but in my honest opinion you guys make the best one out there. It not only has the looks (gosh, the looks of it blow away the competitors...Very sleek), but more importantly, it performs like a .50 should." - Josh W., Lewisburg, TN 

"WOW! WOW! HOLY S**T! Mike, just got it today and was blown away. Everything from ship time to the final product. Even my snobby highend coworkers who shoot were impressed." - Robert B., Kodiak, AK 

"I just wanted to tell you thanks, and that i love this upper. It was worth the wait, and every penny. it looks fantastic, and shoots even better than that. my 16 year old son loves to shoot it as well as i do. he said it doesn't kick as hard as the synthetic stock 270 he has. In fact he shot the 50 five times and will only shoot the 270 twice per outing."  - Jake B., Nephi, UT
