[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 539117, member: 24624"] Darrel is a great smith. You may want to contact him. Here's his website [url=http://hollandguns.com/]Holland's Gunsmithing & Shooters Supply[/url] He can explain when/why he uses that particular type block. But, he also builds nice custom rifles like other's have discussed here. The thing I haven't seen mentioned (didn't read the whole thread) is that a custom build can be a looooong process due to lead times for parts and availability of a reputable smith. I'm not trying to sway you from a custom build. But if budget or time is a concern, there are factory and semi-custom rifles that may do the job for the same or lower cost. You also don't want to forget to budget for good long range optics, range finder, anemometer, reloading equipment, components, range time, etc... This is why many people start with a Remington Sendero or Savage LRPV, etc... Those rifles will be 95% of what you need and you can start shooting day 1 and customize as you go. Good luck!
