I have not used any of them, but I have corresponded with others who have. They have reported good results. I would talk to them and get a feel for who you like. Leroy Barry at Canyon Creek: http://www.canyoncreekgunstocks.com/Display.asp Canyon Creek does some interesting checkering also. Robert Szweda: http://customstockmaker.com Dennis Olson in Plains, MT. No website. He advertises in Rifle magazine (as does Szweda). You'll also have to purchase a wood blank. That alone could ruin your budget. I have purchased wood blanks from Cecil Fredi in Las Vegas with good results. Cecil's website: http://www.gunstockblanks.com v/r Joel

I did have the actions to start with and I used 2 Sako Riihimaki and 2 Sako l57 actions as donors. He had the wood and built the complete rifles and used Lilja barrels. I called Dan Lilja on the projects and had him put the twist in each one for the bullet I had chosen to shoot in each rifle. These are all hand rubbed oil finishes. I didn't use any fast twist and if I had him build another, I would do the same... 222 Remington... 223 Remington... 220 Swift... 6mm Remington...

Thinking another 6.5-.284 might just be the trick. It's hard to find a caliber that will fill a void with my current collection.

Could not be happier with Jim or his work. Shoots like this. And kills!
