The pics are of my 7mm build that took place this past weekend in NC. My good friend built it on Friday/Saturday and I was able to shoot it for some test groups that afternoon. Rem 700 action, Grayboe Stock, 8 twist Benchmark barrel. I was fortunate enough to watch him throughout the entire process. He also assisted me in initial load development. This gunsmith builds rifles for Navy SEALs, Police SWAT members, and old Jarheads like me. He does not advertise or have a website, nor does he have a sign outside his shop yet he is back logged with work for weeks to the degree that he asked me not to post his name or location. Last pic is of a group fired by me at 100 yds with a load of 60 gr of R22, and 183 grain Sierra BTM bullets. PM me with any questions you might have.

Your Smith DS? He bailed me out one season when I ran out of time on my Son's rifle before season. Think it was the first gun frenzy. Couldn't find a trigger anywhere. He cleaned and polished one, adjusted it beautifully, sealed the screws, and sent it to me free of charge. Great guy

Gremcat: that's him. He has built several rifles for me over the years, to include surprising me with my retirement rifle when I retired from the Marine Corps a year ago. Super guy that I'm round to call my friend.

Rifle looks great! Congrats. Watching it being built is something I'd be facinated by for a build of my own. Kudos to him for doing it that way with you.
