Mickey Coleman was my go-to for many years until his passing, and every single one of his builds shoots very well for me. He viewed a rifle as a tool, not neccessarily a work of art, and form followed function in his eyes. He became a great friend, and I miss spending time with him.
That said, the last "Custom" rifle I had built was put together by Ryan Pierce of Piercision Rifles in Waucoma, Iowa. 30-28 Nosler on a Kelbly action and Carbon Research barrel. Perfect cosmetics, and it too, shoots extremely well. Any future builds I have done will likely be done by Ryan.
It was also an excuse for a road trip, I drove up to Iowa and spent some time in his shop. Ryan is a fine gentleman who has very high standards, and his work is flawless.
