[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 976050, member: 9964"] A gunsmiths location if local is good but not a limiting criteria. The Brown truck can deliver your rifle to the selected gunsmith within a few days anywhere in the United Sstates. Look at the shooting discipline your custom rifle will most closely fit. Find a gunsmith who has winners in that shooting discipline. Do a web search, contact the local better business bureau and the clerk of the local courts office for complaints, etc. If you select a gunsmith find out whose actions, barrels, stocks, they use. contact those vendors and inquire what kind of relationship they have, and if they will give the gunsmith a reference. Ask the gunsmith for a list of customer references. Talk to several gunsmiths in person and/or on the phone. ask them for an itemized custom build contract. A good gunsmith will listen to you first, as your custom rifle is yours. He or she will then give you feed back and suggestions to save you money and heart ache. Both you and the gunsmith have to have a re'poir with each other. The better gunsmith don't have to advertise for work, so they are weeding out potential trouble customers during the planning stages of a build. There has to be a commitment by both parties when building a custom rifle. Expect to wait for the completion of your rifle. Components have to be ordered and delivered before your rifle can be completed. Let your gunsmith purchase all the component for your build, that way there are no questions about the components and easier warranties if there is a problem. There are many great gunsmiths in America do your home work and you want be disappointed. Don't let a bunch of keyboard jockeys influence your build let it be your's and your gunsmith's work, you will be much happier. Good Luck Nat Lambeth [/QUOTE]
