[QUOTE="Willys1948, post: 1549729, member: 108677"] I have had 3 rifles built (20 Practical, 7mm-08 and long range .284) and a barrel replaced on my 55 year old .243 (completely shot out after all these years) by Kevin Weaver at Weaver Rifles. He is replacing a barrel now on my 40 year old .300 Win Mag that never shot well to begin with. All of the guns he has dealt with for me come back shooting like a champ. Just yesterday in 40 degree weather, I tested my Tikka 7mm-08 (Tikka T3 LH .243 with a 7mm-08 Lilja barrel and action trued up) with 3 loads (all different bullets, different powders and 2 different cases. All 3 loads shot groups well under 1MOA and probably would be better if I had better than 16X scope at 100 yards. I think this gun (my main deer rifle) will shoot rocks if I could figure out how to load them. See picture attached. I am a decent shot but not sniper class by any means. Kevin builds a really good rifle (he tests them extensively before he send out) and you will get your build approximately when he says he will deliver (this is a big deal to me for hunt planning purposes). I have never met him but took a chance because I read a magazine article where he built a .20 Practical from a Tikka so I had him build me one for PD's and it shoots hole in hole. Great guy to deal with (although I have only talked to him and his wife on the phone). Kevin built my first custom rifle and he will probably build my last. [/QUOTE]
