[QUOTE="Boom, post: 3052370, member: 25070"] Good friend of mine is interested in purchasing a custom rifle and I'm trying to give him some help. Here is what I've heard from him: 1) Wants a custom build. He's owns several nice factory rifles (Sako, Tikka, etc.) but really wants to go with a custom build, it will be his first. 2) Utilize factory ammo only--he is not interested in reloading. I've offered to help on this but he really wants to shoot factory ammo for a variety of reasons so lets assume he will only shoot quality factory loads. 3) Use for hunting 100-800 yards and target work out to at least 1200. Game would be whitetail at distance, mule deer and elk. 4) Heavy enough to be easy to target shoot but not a 20lb gun either. 5) He is willing to spend good money to get it right, cry once buy once thought process. Looking for: 1) What gunsmith/shop would be a good fit given no reloading 2) Thoughts on calibers given factory ammo only constraint Thanks for your input! [/QUOTE]
