All, for the record, I had previously pathetically whined about a problem in dealing with Robert Gradous (Georgia) in getting a build completed. I have just returned from his superbly-equipped shop where, at his invitation, I witnessed - and participated in - the 300 Winchester Magnum build from: CNC threading of the barrel end for a brake, a special time-consuming 1-hour special setup for 12-fluting of the barrel after I saw the magnificent work done by his shop, barrel polishing, intensive grit-blasting of the action and barrel to a frosty-white color, custom cerakoting, joining of action and barrel, bolt assembly, minute attention to detail in cutting the bolt clearance in the Accuracy International stock, a full half hour just to enhance the magazine feeding, using his pre-sighted Nightforce Competition scope to test-fire with factory ammunition, hand-loading of rounds to test-fire and get a 3/8th-inch group at 100-yards from a non-broke-in barrel. I came away with a complete respect for Robert, his staff, and most importantly his shop, equipment and attention to detail. I also had a full day to discuss specifications for my next build - a 300 Norma Magnum. Robert definitely deserves your business and your next build deserves his special attention to detail. You just have to be patient throughout the process and respect the simple fact that I observed: i.e., three very busy superb gunsmiths cannot be on the phone if rifles are to be built! For the record, I paid full price and received zero compensation of any kind and merely wish to set the matter to rights.

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.

Nothing against Robert, but I'm kinda like boliep.

Shame he didn't cut the price a few dollars so you could buy a [bleep] paragraph break.

Been hearing great things about Gradous rifles, and thinking about a 6.5 Creedmoor build from him. Glad you're happy! That's awesome, he'll get ALL my business! Borden Ti and Proof barrel is on it's way....we're getting ready to TURN up some more! HE!!UVA guy and TOP NOTCH gun smith!!!!!! Keep grinding Gradous!!!!!!!! Dude you build some nice rifles. Borden titanium and proof research barrel, nice combination may I ask what caliber?

How much do you get to post positive reviews on forums? For the right money, I could be very convincing....
It's like a bad infomercial.

All, I just returned from an amazing experience with an amazing gunsmith building an amazing rifle in an amazing facility with amazing equipment.... Give me a [bleep] break. Nobody talks like that. If you do, you're some pompous douchebag and I could give a [bleep] less about your opinion anyway.

I can't blame the fella, if I had just spent 2500 plus parts to watch somebody make my gun I'd have to get on a forum and let somebody know just how rich I was too.
