Build enough custom rifles, or have enough after market work done and eventually we will run into rifles that give us fits or simply don't perform. I've had them...most every body has.Sometimes it's the smith, sometimes the components.

Not a bad idea to have the barrel maker install. When possible i like to see the rifle built by one shop, start to finish.

Usually we build to get something the factories can't give us. If a Tikka or something else does fine for us and performs well,a custom is a waste of time and money.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
