Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats McWhorter Rifles

Does anyone have any experience with these rifles? Thoughts?

A little pricey, but they use good parts,and I hear they shoot great!

I have a friend that hunts with those guys and has a couple of their rifles. They shoot like crazy. I shot his 270wby once and i know i was flinching when i put the first 3 downrange as it was the first time i had handled the rifle and first 3 times i had pulled the trigger. Group still went about a half inch. He also had a 300 rum, which i didnt care to shoot

Their as Good, As You'll Find..

I own seven of them. As others have said they are very accurate and well put together rifles.

IMO the best out there.. Ive got several from .338 Lapua down to .22-250 and you cant beat them. Tim and Alan are first class.

A friend of mine has a 7 WSM, it shoots great and looks great. They use all the good components (McMillan, Borden, Hart etc).

They are about $1,000 higher than most, but they do load development and you can get a rifle in a few weeks, and that is certainly worth a premium.

I couldve bought a mcwhorter but it was about a grand more than a Gradous build! I'll be damned if it's a thousand better in anyway

And Gradous shot my rifle with me and worked up three loads

McWhorters are nice rifles but they seem a little high. Ive always wondered why everything he builds has a brake on it?? Anybody know? I've never seen a brake on an 7-08

I agree you don't need to spend an extra $1000.00 to get mcwhorter quality, there are a handful of builders one who is Mr Gradous that can do the same if not better for less!

I like McWhorters stuff, but you hit the nail on the head with that one, being how Gradous build em up!

looks like Gradous is a few minutes from the farm I hunt on, when I go down next month, I'll stop by his shop.

$5 grand for a reworked M-700 & a synthetic stock............. they should be good.

I love mine. Extremly well built. Superb accuracy. don't remember what I paid but it was worth it. 163bc

Re-worked Remington is not 5 grand. I have known Tim and Allan for several years now and I have several of their rifles. I have hunted with them in the MidWest and South Texas. They are standup guys that are extremely passionate about rifle building and especially hunting(You should see the trophy room) They are serious about selling customers what works and will not do so until they have fully tested the products. Everyone jumped on the Berger bandwagon but they would not load any of them until they got confirmed results for themselves. I proceeded to shoot about 50 hogs and not until then did they start loading and hunting with them. You can't go wrong with a McWhorter.

I agree. Borden, Rock, McM Edge, and all other accessories built by one of the best Smiths in the country would be ~$1500 less than McWhorter. That said, they do have some nice rigs and from their descriptions, they shoot.
