[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 305923, member: 2736"] A high profile smith is often not the one that actually builds the rifles ,he has people working for him in some cases and they are not always as dedicated as he is to quality. If you have a gunsmith that you like and produces good quality rifles then stick with him. One of my worst experiences with a custom build was with One of the top rated gunsmiths in the country (He is not on this site) and as I learned gunsmithing I could not believe the lack of quality that this rifle had. High profile builders of anything (rifles, knife,cars, ETC) can and do charge more than most because of their name but the product may not be any better. The reason most recomend one of these builders is because they have had good luck with them and have not found one like you have. There are some on this site that place the customer FIRST and that is one of the most important parts of a quality build and a overall good experience. Sounds like you have a winner and unless you just want a rifle with someones name that will give you bragging rites stick with him because good ones are hard to find. And telling him how well you like his work will go a long way in future builds. Unfortunately the only way to find a bad gunsmith is to have him build a rifle for you. I don't know of any bad gunsmiths on this site mainly because they would not last long here without being exposed. Just my opinion for what it's worth. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
