Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Sisk book Ordering Custom Rifled

Well I am impressed. Bought a copy of Selecting & Ordering a Custom Hunting Rifle from John Barsness’ website. I am glad I did. I have been fiddling around with custom rifles for 60 years and learned lots of lessons by making mistakes.

I would have saved lots of money if I had access to this book back then. It is well organized and thoughtfully written. AND Mule Deer has copies available.

I really appreciated the mention that the best gunmaker in the world can’t cut a chamber better than his reamer allows.

Thanks Mr Sisk and JB and Eileen and Phil S, all of whom contributed as did others worth heeding.

Can you give us a table of contents?

I have never owned a custom rifle, all I'm familiar with are factory rifles, if any one you have built or purchased a custom rifle what is it that you are looking for in a custom rifle? is it the fit, weight, accuracy or all of the above and how much better are customs? The closest I came to custom was semi custom with trued action, re-barrel and re-stock. Thanks
