[QUOTE="badthirtyone, post: 2310966, member: 9573"] I'll weigh in on this as well with a couple of points. #1 - I'm personally kind of thrilled to see that there are a considerable number of quality custom builders scattered all around the country. This bodes very well for our sport/lifestyle to know that these guys are out there, and so many quality shooters are overall thrilled with their work. #2 - based on point no. 1 above, I'd second what [USER=14204]@FEENIX[/USER] related, in that you should be able to find a reputable builder within face-to-face range of your home. Like many members here, I really like to see the shop and get to know the smith that does the work on my rifles. #3 - This site has a high number of high-end/elite quality builders that always seem to be willing to work within our specialized community to build whatever you have in mind, many of which have already been mentioned in the first few pages here. I'd be inclined to reach out to one of them, like [USER=25377]@orkan[/USER] at TS, for example, as these guys regularly contribute here and are already a part of our community. #4 - Only because they have not already been mentioned here, I'll throw the "[B]Black Canyon Custom[/B]" shop name out for consideration. I believe that - like many others already mentioned - Fritz at Black Canyon Customs is an outstanding rifle builder, has very good/reasonable lead times, and is an all-around great guy to work with. He is also at least "fairly" close to you (in a neighboring state), so it fits the bill of an in-person transaction if you are willing to drive. #5- 99% of all of the guys mentioned are probably out hunting - or getting ready to - as we speak, so I'd give any of them a little extra grace right now if you are trying to get one of them on the phone or visit their shops. Good luck with your search and your build. I think we are ALL in a great spot as there are more quality builders available to us than at any point in history. You should end up with an exceptional rifle that is built exactly as you'd like it to be. [/QUOTE]
