[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 819214, member: 68226"] I do only work on Weatherby actions for long range shooting. I had a past customer come in and wanted me to build a long range hunting rifle on a custom action of my recommendation. I truly believed that there was not a better action for hunting and precision than the Weatherby. He had another smith and company build one on a "GILKES" action. All I can say is WOW! I have had several, Defiance, Stillers, Nesika, Stolle, Etc in my arms and down range and a "BUILT" Weatherby can compete with all of them. The Gilkes on the other hand is truly a work of art that will never be beat. The trigger, lock time, strength, everything is superior to anything I have ever seen or shot. I do not work on precision firearms for profit and do not care for any more business than I already have. Point being made this is a truly educated unbiased opinion. I am not out to sell these or make money off of this. I DO NOT WORK ON THESE. They are truly the best! I myself am thinking of having one built for me in 7mm Rem for the 180 Sierra or Berger. My customer/ friend shot it at my range today and at 300 yds it shot a .211 group. I am still totally astonished. 6mm Br with Varget.. Check out the GILKES action if your truly interested in a custom rifle.. [/QUOTE]
