[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 291769, member: 5060"] Speedy did his evaluation of the actions, which involved checking tolerances and blue printing among other things to base his decision on. When I build Any rifle and he build all of mine except for the custom 98’s and the like which Chuck Grace builds those and even then Speedy may do certain things they are always done the same. All I tell Speedy is what color the stock needs to be and if there will be a brake, H&S bottom metal is to be bead blasted or not(that is my job most of the time anyway), always use a Jewell trigger, always flute the Krieger tube which I get and the recoil pad is the same. Speedy has built so many rifles for me and we both have the same taste in styling and no compromise on components so it’s easy for me----“Speedy just build it like you would for yourself”.. I use his bases and rings that John Loh builds and has for many years the new material is 7075 in the T6 condition. The only things we ever argue about is the length of the tube which he always wants it to be just a little longer in most cases. Speedy is not just a Smith he is also a HOF shooter who knows what things must work together in order for the rifle to produce the highest degree of accuracy. We shoot together and are good friends but nonetheless, his knowledge is considerable and I have been around him enough and watched him build countless rifles to know that he is among the best in his craft.
