saw some of Nathans work today and if his rifles shoot as well as they look you will have a winner for sure....I think I know where my 25-06 build will be heading later this year

I checked these rifles out at the Sports Show in Harrisburg & they looked very well made. Machine work and finish were very good, & his test targets contained tiny little groups!!

I would like to know more about him too.

Talked to Nathan for awhile on the phone about doing some customizing to my 7600 Whelen and he was a pleasure to talk to. He really knows how to turn a pump gun into a work of art.

Here's a wonderfully accurate 257 Weatherby that Nate built for me:

He's done some Bansner restocks for me, cerakoting, etc. All work has been stellar. Great guy too.

Nathan has done two for me, and a barrel change on another. Both came out beautifully, and shot very well. If I could only find the need for another, he would have it right now. Great guy, great work, great end product.

It's more than a little garish Scott. I'll take it off of your hands to save you further embarrassment. In fact, I'll take it in lieu of whiskey as per our previous discussion off-line. Your welcome.

Nathan is in the process of turning one of my Remington titaniums into a .280AI. I can hardly wait.

I want to thank everyone who stopped by the booth last week at the Great American Outdoors show. I had a great time talking rifles for 9 days. Half the fun building rifles is talking about the build with the customers.

I enjoyed talking to you, too. Specially handling all of the different stocks on the rifles in those pictures, really helped to get a feel for the design differences from the different mfg's.

You make some very nice rifles!!

That bolt shroud was 'specially designed for Scott. Now he can use his <insert brand name here> open-end/box wrenches to disassemble the bolt. laugh

I told Nate I wanted to be able to use metric-adjustable wrenches. laugh
