custom

I have reached a milestone in life and decided to take the plunge and put together a custom rifle. I am going with a Bat Action and Brux Barrel. However, I recently found that Brux barrels only come as blanks and I will need a gunsmith to chamber, thread and add a muzzle thread. I have...

I put together a budget rifle and purchased the Trybe ROCS chassis at a dirt cheap price. First trip to the range, I found the end of the stock was biting into my rear rest and realized I needed a bag rider. Searched online and I could not find anyone that sells a bag rider for this chassis...

I have been wanting to build a 20-222 rem rifle for close range varmints. I have had many 221 fireballs over the years which I no longer have. I currently have a couple custom 223's set up for shooting heavy bullets. I was originally thinking of building a 20 vartarg or to do a fireball...

So I finally finished it tonight! This project started on the drawing board 2 years ago this month, and kicked off with dummy rounds being sent to Preferred Barrel Blanks in Utah along with the order for a barrel. This design isn't really a long range cartridge. Rather, it's intended to kill...

I have some exciting news for you guys! We have developed a new lightweight hunting action at Pierce Engineering.

For those who have 300 mag Chambers with increased freebore what kind of velocities are you seeing? I think I've decided on a custom 300 wm barrel over a nosler or RUM and I'm curious how much I'll be leaving on the table.

Hey guys, so hoping to finally start the custom build this spring. Currently deciding between ag composites alpine hunter or manners eh1. My question is there a good way to figure out if I need an adjustable stock or not? If I went adjustable I’m leaning ag because it’s only 8oz more than the...

Take a look. To sum up last season it was quick and went by too fast. Work had me in the office almost continuously. What time I did get I spent getting my old man his first pronghorn. That said, I did connect with a few critters and enjoy every minute!!

I'm building a long range rig on a Browning A-Bolt II long action and I'm having a little difficulty with the stock options. I plan for this to be an heirloom rifle and I want it right, even if a little odd. Let me say that I'm building the Browning because I think it's a very well made bolt...

So, after much deliberation on what rifle I would get myself this year, I decided I might venture into the custom build category. From what I've read, going custom seems to be an interesting, involved and fun way to add to a collection. So, I guess step one would be to pick a caliber. For...
