Is anyone building custom rifles anymore? Whatcha got headed your way? I've got a Bighorn Origin and a Bartlein 2b 1-7" .224 slated to be an exact dupe of this .223AI. ![[Linked Image]](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1765/43344934912_d9e3961b22_k.jpg)

Have a stainless Win 70 classic New Haven featherweight in 22-250 that's soon to be a 6.5 gaymoor. Have a #2 1-8 twist 6.5 Bartlein on the shelf, a new win 243 SS follower. All I need now is a Mcmillan edge stock to finish up for the components side and off to the gunsmith. Also have a ruger MK II stainless .223 in a zytel stock thats in need of a 1-8 twist barrel.
When people face the possibility of freezing or starving there is little chance they are going to listen to unfounded claims of climate doomsday from a bunch of ultra-rich yacht sailing private jet-setting carbon-spewing hypocrite elites

What bullet are you planning on?
I always thought a 6.5-06 made a lot of sense.

Was/Am thinking about doing a 1-7 22 BR, any thoughts?

Finish the hunting switch barrel "system" (hate that word)...
Manners EH1
Bighorn TL3
Add some more barrels and bolt faces as I feel an itch I need to please, most likely nothing bigger than a Mag Sporter and all short and threaded for a muffler. Through buying complete rifles for the most part. Had thoughts of an Origin for a spell, but the ability to swap barrels between two TL3s won out.
Moving to a lefty Bighorn TL3 and another T5A for the super sniper, steel ninja rifle..grin...
