Beanland vs McWhorter Rifles

I'm about to have two rifles built and have it narrowed down between these two builders. I'm fairly new to the world of high-end custom rifles and wanted to see if there were some folks with a little more wisdom on this sight that might have any feedback on one versus the other. Beanland Rifles are 15-20% less pricey....so that will have a little to do with the decision as well.

I have had several rifles barreled by Gordy's Precision in Kansas City, MO. and I am about to have a new rifle built by him. He builds 1000 yds. rifles. Look at his website. you might consider him. Google Gordy's Precision

I'm about 90% through a build with Jon on a 6.5 SAUM sheep rifle. I have had other custom rifles built but none of the smiths were as good about responding quickly to questions. On this build there was a challenge getting three rounds to fit in the BDL mag well. Jon collaborated with the bottom metal manufacturer and they came up with a solution. Jon is pleasant to work with, he is a problem solver, he likes his job, and it shows.

I've not used McWhorter but Beanland's work is flawless and he stands behind his work. Here's a pic of my Beanland build and a group I shot during load workup. I loaded ten different charges of Varget with .4gr between charges behind 130gr Berger AR Hybrids just to find max for my rifle. The rifle stacked them in there so tight I could have picked any of the ten different charges and had a very accurate load. A little more testing had me settle at pushing them to 2863fps. Shot a five round group with that load a few days ago that was in the .2s.
