    Rifle Build Advice PLEASE!

    There are several extremely good smiths these days, and I think you can find them all at some point or another on this site. Just didn't want to leave out Jim See @ Center Shot Riflles. He is currently doing a custom .270 wsm for me. Below is his info. Good luck with whoever you choose. Jim...

    WSM action question

    Go through the questions that Jim from Center Shot posted. That's why he is bulding my first custom .270 wsm right now.

    Tikka 270wsm to 300wsm

    I have talked to several guys on this site that have had no problem downing an elk beyond 500yd mark w/ a .270wsm. I have one .270wsm but have not taken it out west yet, but am having another one built by Jim at Center shot rifles. I decided on the .270wsm a couple years ago because I believe...

    New Factory Rifle

    My opinion is go with the Savage. Best "outta the box" rifle on the market now. The accustock and accutrigger are a great addition to an already excellent factory rifle. I own 2 in other calibers and are hard core tack drivers for a factory rifle! Not as pretty as some but definitly...

    Shake up at "Best of The West"

    CCC, Definitly just you! I don't understand your reasoning about this. You get angry because someone is striving to make a better product? There is so much to say here but I dont think I will. jb

    Vortex Viper PST Riflescope Update

    I've been waiting also. I think they will be worth the wait. My rifle is still being built, but I'm still excited to get one finally. Thanx to Vortex for making good decisions with customer feedback.

    Viper PST vs Leupold VX-3

    So, if you get a custom turret, does it even matter what focal plane the reticle is in? I mean, if I were to use a range finder and have the custom turrets made to my rifles actual data, would reticle design or focal plane have any added benefits? I'm fairly uneducated with the fast moving...

    Brake for 270wsm

    Do you have a preference for recoil reducers? Mercury or mechanical? I guess the gunsmith would drill the stock and install

    Brake for 270wsm

    Thank you. I will be contacting McGowen to see if I can have the brake sent to them instead of here jb

    Brake for 270wsm

    Jarhead & Bigngreen said it perfect. Read my post. I am not worried about the noise at all. I have had a lot of injuries to my firing shoulder, and if you must know, all from my time in the military. I will never give up my desire for shooting so I cannot afford the pain any longer. Especially...

    Brake for 270wsm

    I would have Jim See do the entire build. Then again I may be a little bias. :D Nothing wrong w/ being a little biased. Thanks for your help. It is very appreciated.

    Brake for 270wsm

    You want the brake installed by who ever sets the head spacing because you'll clock a baffle style brake. Sounding like a good build, feel free to share more details :D My gunsmith was gonna do headspace, but I thought manufacture had to install. Please forgive me if I sound naive since...

    Brake for 270wsm

    Thanks for the info, men. One question: If I get a muscle brake and I am getting a McGowen barrel, Who does brake installation? Center shot or McGowen?
