[QUOTE="jhibbard24, post: 484910, member: 25072"] [COLOR="Red"]you might check this guy out. His prices on his available rifles page are really surprising for custom. I'm going to try one I think in 7WSM Accurate Custom Hunting Rifles by Quarter Minute Magnums [/COLOR] [COLOR="Black"][COLOR="#000000"][/COLOR][/COLOR] this guy is based in my town and i have talked to him to a little and it seems he is very stuck in his ways. if you want to have any sort of a variation in a rifle he will tell you how wrong you are and that his way is the only way.
