I'm in the process of working up a .375 WSM. I also got my Browning B71 .50-110 back from having some work done on it and it's now ready for dangerous game use.
I don't have any draw tags this year. OTC Colorado elk or bear is a definite possibility. I'm planning to try to draw a Wyoming cow tag for an outfitted hunt next year.

Got this custom 6mm Creedmoor built on a 40X action. I'll use it to take a Pronghorn in WY in October. Built by Out West Guns of Oshoto, WY.

No customs, but bought a few 99’s, a 32-40, 284, 300 Savage, probably others I can’t remember this year. Oh, a little Ruger American 223 to fool around with. I do have a 99 being rebarreled to 338 Federal. I guess that qualifies as a custom. It has custom wood already on it.

Huntsman, Is a gunsmith and/or bedding needed to put together a build like your 17WSM? Just curious what it takes to get one 100% complete and if additional smithing is needed for a tack driver. It's a great setup.

Neither of my RimX's are bedded. Pillars come installed on the AG stocks, and so far both are tackdrivers. A 'smith did thread, chamber and screw the barrel on the WSM. A Proof prefit on the 22LR was installed by me.

No custom rifles this year other than a Sportsman 78 in 308. Will be going into a Brown Precision and depending on how it shoots, may be going for a rebore to 358Win.

Hoping to blood it with elk this year.

I've got a "new to me" custom Mauser 30-06. Plan to test it out on whitetails this fall if all goes well.
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.
