[QUOTE="gebhardt02, post: 744211, member: 12695"] Define "truly custom." What we are going to build would be considered "truly custom" except for the fact that a customer isn't specifying the exact details. This would be similar to many other shops that produce spec built rifles such as GAP's Gladius, Hospitaller, etc. What I've attempted to do is gather the most popular options and specs for this type of rifle and roll them into a single rifle. We will be building this off of our SMR 3600 action, which is produced for us by Defiance Machine. I believe this action to be more custom than a factory Savage or Remington. We are also using a stock that isn't found on mass produced rifles, a top quality barrel that isn't found on mass produced rifles, trigger, bottom metal, etc. This isn't stuff you can walk into any store and buy as a single rifle. I understand what you are saying and where you are coming from though. I just thought that this would be a nice way to determine what would be most popular in a "custom" rifle for this purpose and then build one. We could obviously chamber it for any other caliber or build a rifle to a customers specs including different stock, barrel contour, or what ever. I understand that there are so many different opinions and thoughts for what each person might want. This is just one particular rifle with what seem to be highly popular choices. Geb [/QUOTE]
