I built my own on our family ranch in west Kern county. I put a couple of sturdy wood benches and some nice target stands made out of green wood that I got from Lowes. The design was found on the internet and I made one of them to fit my height. Just buried the legs 18" in the ground and have...

My bad. You weren't addressing me. Just saw the above comment. Sorry.

No apologies necessary. I respect everybody's opinion as long as it doesn't become personal. No worries.

Agree to disagree. Needless to say even though I was built an exceptional rifle, I won't be using him again. Maybe, if he was my friend and I could just drive down, it might have been a different story. Although, my job was a bid job with the agreed upon stipulation that regular communication...

I respect your opinion...but, taking the 5 minutes or less to send an email every month seems acceptable. It shouldn't kill your daily productivity to send a couple of brief update emails. If that is the case ... it would worry me. Having good communication is just good business and in the long...

You should be fine aiming a couple inches below the diffuser.

Yes, you shoot through the "loops". The specific chrony you buy should specify the distance. Mine requires 8-10ft for regular rifles and 10-12ft for magnums. I use the CED M2 and bought a inexpensive tripod from walmart that works just fine with it. I have only used mine a couple of times at a...

I shot this 5 round group for my new 300RUM, today. The load I'm using is 180gn Barnes TTSX with 87.2gn H4831sc. Remington cases with a COAL of 3.70. I am also using Fed 215M primers. The top bullet hole was a burn bullet immediately after cleaning. The A.V. is 3240fps with a S.D. of 7.8 The...

Ok, ok. The conclusion to the story goes like this... I recieved the gun middle of last week as promised (for once). Mounted my scope and loaded some rounds that would serve as barrel break-in bullets and also to fireform my cases to the chamber for load development. Shot the gun today at...

Ok so here's an update. After my last post I finally got ahold of him by having to block my number like a little high schooler. That was ridiculous in itself. He told me 2 more weeks. Called numerous times 2 weeks later and got ahold of him on the third week. He told me the gun was done and...

Oooohhh.... believe me, it does. There have been many lessons learned through this process. I guess it comes with the territory. Fortunately, caused me to find this sight, which I have learned alot from. Also, so far I haven't been chastized by members for asking what they might think are stupid...

Well just an update... I finally got ahold of my smith today. He said he was aware of my calls and email and that there was no excuse for not taking them.... He said my gun should've been done months ago and the he profusely appologizes... He said the gun should be done in two weeks and he will...

????? Why is savage popular with the DIY crowd. Sorry for the stupid question, but you sparked my curiousity.

Thanks J E and Chip. The "only" money invested so far is the brand new rem 700 I sent him and the Lilja barrel I had shipped to him. The sad thing is Lilja quoted me 12 weeks on the barrel because they had to custom make it due to my requested length and specs, but they had it shipped out in...

Hey cam...I'm in bako too. Who did your work? I was thinking of having one guy do some other stuff for me, but he's no longer taking anymore rifles. You probably know who it is. Thanks.
