Welcome
A quality custom rifle and/or shotgun is a great thing. I would love to give one of yours a spin.

Yeah, some prices might be a good idea.
Congrats, you won our gunsmithing services for free but you have to use our action. Our action costs $4000.
Don't be ridiculous Scotty. You mean to tell me you wouldn't pay that much for a cerakoted rem 700 action...??? Damn, you are pickier than I thought...

So, I cannot specify a controlled round feed, fixed ejector, claw extractor action? I saw no checkered and nicely figured wood stocks on your site, either.
Since the above is my strong preference, I would not be a good marketer for your wares, but a hearty and sincere wish and hope for good luck here. Lots of guys here at 24hrcf like the kinds of rifles you are producing.

Here's a little more info on our action. I'll try to take some pictures of one of our recent builds and post them up shortly.
Thanks again for everyone's comments.
� Standard "700" footprint for ease of stock selection and off-the-shelf custom fit � Heat treated before machining to prevent changing tolerances � Wire EDM-cut, full-length lug ways provide smooth bolt operation and unsurpassed strenth and ridigity � Actions available in Medium, Long, and X-Long lengths to accommodate all popular factory chamberings � Deep fluted bolt, "sheep" port, and aluminum bolt shroud save weight in non-critical areas � Action total weight within ounces of comparable titanium actions � Stainless action body and parkerized chromoly bolt allow for tight tollerances and elliminate galling � Extractors are M-16 or Sako type depending on application � Optics mounts are compatable with 700 style recievers and are secured with 8-40 screws to manage recoil sheer forces � Right and left hand configurations available

@Safari Man,
Not as part of this deal, but if you wanted a rifle built like that we could definitely accommodate. There are lots of high quality actions to choose from that have those features.
We have a lot of background in wood finishing and stock work from the shotgun side of the house. Would be a fun project.

Welcome to the campfire! Your work looks great! I'm sure you will be busy from everyone here.
What stainless are you using to build your action on? Can they be ordered with Wyatt's cutout?
Also maybe a list of reamers available would be a good idea.

Dan Dowling did my last rifle for about half what you charge.
When you say "match grade" do you mean world record class?
If not, you are over priced.

Did I miss the price list on the website? Looks like some nice sticks. Thanks! We've been making a lot of changes and updates here recently. We have our services and shotgun pricelist and are working up final pricing for the Timos. The challenge is always deciding what options should be "standard". Complete build pricing will be different from the standard services pricelist due to significant overlap of labor. We should have the initial pricelist with options finished up shortly after the holidays.

How far are you from Huntsville. Always looking for a good gunsmith. Welcome to the fire! I think we're just over an hour away from Huntsville. We're about 20 mins south of Birmingham on 65. Come visit anytime.

Also maybe a list of reamers available would be a good idea. Our action is made by Defiance Machine. We've built off of several different manufacturers, but these guys are the best. We worked with them for weeks to determine the feature set we wanted and ended up with a modified version of the Rebel. We actually CNC'ed up to make our own, but these guys are so good to work with it just isn't worth it. The action body is made from 416SS and the bolt body is 4340CM Parkerized. I'm sure we can make the cut for a Wyatt's, but it may be more worthwhile to use the XM action. Our reamer list is growing every week. If we don't have it, we'll buy it and add it to our inventory. Exceptions to this are managed on a case-by-case basis. We won't want to inventory something really oddball or a wildcat for example. Great questions. Thanks for posting.
