[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1615216, member: 95344"] I guess there are a couple of things to consider. How much hunting/ firearms experience you have and how well are you set up with binos and packs. Since you have to trek long and possibly hard glass and packs are a consideration. Is pigs your target game or are you hunting Northern Cal for bucks? In any case you could pick out one of the three shops for a rifle, pick a factory rifle, or get rifle built locally. There's a shop in Ventura County that has a good reputation, I think they are the armorers/ smith for Top Shot. I guess you have to tell us why you want a "Custom" rifle. Is it for accuracy? Is it for smooth, reliable function? Or is it weight? In any case a used rifle with proven performance and round count is fine. Otherwise I'd get new. And don't rule out a local smith, you can always have an action trued and pick out your components. [/QUOTE]
