Hello all
I am looking to get into my first custom rifle, I have no idea where to start let alone who to start it with. I am looking for Reliability, repeatability and of course accuracy. I want to run minimum lube on the action as to not attract dirt. Hiking with the rifle will happen, so weight is some issue. I will hunt medium game, white tail, and some elk. As far as who to have build the rifle.. I'm not crazy about the big guys but may consider them. Usually means bigger price tag, longer lead time and what not.
I shoot my savage out to distance frequently with great success but am just ready for a upgrade. Currently shooting .308 and want a change of caliber and cartridge . I'm local to Wisconsin and don't know of many rifle builders around me. None actually. Maybe they don't exist, maybe I don't know where to look. Thanks much for the future help. Jon-
