Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Jon Beanland or Robert Gradous on a........

6.4x47 Lapua build who and why? I hear and see both guys do a remarkable job on building a 47L build just seeing what you gentleman thought.

Both build unusally accurate rifles and the 6.5x47 is no exception, Robert is building my 223 now so I would lean toward Mr Gradous,but would use either with confidence!

I know Mr Gradous without a doubt builds fantastic rifles, but I'd not give up my Beanland rifle ever. Jon is a heck of a nice guy and his attention to detail is as good as it gets.

I've used Gradous on my last few rifles, superb accuracy/detail. No doubt Gradous/Beanland can do a great job...flip a coin.

Stoney is the adl forward guard screw pillar hidden in the grey web area between the trigger cutout and mag well?

Yes, there is a 3/4 size aluminum ft pillar Gradous milled & epoxied in so the ft trigger guard is not a dummy-screw like some customs may have. Don't have a more detail pic of that area, but here are couple more Dave..

Mag well Tap..



Drinking Rum & Coke while it's drying..

I like the attention to the small details, he goes to great length to make a guy happy!

Jon Beanland's 6.5x47's are just plain silly accurate and he is one of the most down to earth guys you will ever meet.

I have a Gradous .308 which is scary accurate & I will soon have a 7MM Mag that Jon Beanland is building for me = I think you win with either of these guys!!!

Yes I think your right! Did what slg888 said and flipped the coin it was HEADS(Jon Beanland)! Seems like a nice Guy that builds great rifles after I spoke to him, next build will be a Gradous 308! You Guys ROCK!!!!!!!!

Robert! He is getting ready to build another one.

Do a search on sniper hide's forum. You will be amazed how may people a done write ups on him

Yes did a search on both builders at the hide and write ups are great on both!!!! Wow I can't wait!!!!

A rifle from each builder = perfect!!

Both Jon and Robert are super nice guys and build very accurate rifles. They are the only guy that touches the rifle - no assembly line type of builds with those 2!!!

Very interesting thread although I did speak to Mr Gradous on a build he's a very knowledgeable Guy! Also see Mr Beanland is only 2 1/2 hours SW of me..........o boy!

I rec'd my first Gradous custom a few weeks ago. I was blown away by Robert, his shop, the fit and finish, and accuracy.
I'm sure beanland is a stud also


I know you can't go Wrong with Gradous

All I know from first hand is Robert's work. There may be an equal to Robert...but there are very few on this planet that are better.

Here are a few examples I have...

Those are some very nice rifles by Robert Gradous wow!

What are their wait times running?

can't seem to find a website for Beanland custom ? Anyone have it?

Jon doesn't have one at this time. If you look around on Snipers Hide you can see a bunch of his work there. He is a very nice guy, and his work is excellent.
