Good communication, good advice. Very meticulous and attentive to detail. The first one is a serious shooter and I expect the 2nd will be too. Gathering parts for what will be the 3rd next year

Both Shaen and Jon do exceptional work. Haven't had one built by Shaen - yet:) But Jon built me two almost identical 7MM-08's off 700 actions. Both in Classic Edge stocks and both with Brux #3 contour fluted and @ finished @ 22.5". Both where perfect and Jon was sure easy to work with. Both where shooters - sold both during bouts of insanity One now resides in Wyoming and one in Indiana - both have killed lots of critters so thats nice to know. Last edited by Oregonmuley; 12/09/19.

Just sighted in the 240 weatherby he made me. Rem 700, shilen SS barrel, Mcmillan hunter stock. Shoots sub 1” easily. NRA Patron

John We'll, yeah....but they're just 10 shot groups....you can't judge a rifles true accuracy without 20 shot groups minimum

I agree. I have not used Shaen yet. I have a few that I plan to send to him to build. From what I have heard and seen of Shaen's work it is top notch! Here is my Beanland Eat Fish, Wear Grundens, Drink Alaskan.

It'd be 1-8",no longer than 22",Smooch a 180 ELD from binderless AICS confines,with room to chase lands and THE Throat. I'd have him anchor a 45 MOA extended Marty rail,with molten metal and do the bolt likewise. Sako Hunter for me,Sporter filled gelcoat and flushcups,with no studs to drag. Bart' 2B contoured/short shanked and I have him crown it,like all my others he's done. Hint. Pass the 6x MQ and hold the Fluff. I'd leave the metal unfinished,mainly because it chaps his ass,to do so. Hint. LAUGHING!....................
