[QUOTE="sbruni, post: 2311306, member: 27945"] I have several Mcwhorters, a half dozen coopers, a handful of Jarrett’s, a couple Gunwerks, a proof, a horizon, a few tumbleweeds(mark Pharr), a quartet of bansners and a handful from other custom smiths. I’ve owed brown precision, rifles inc,, mcmillans and a handful of others that found new homes… I like them all and could recommend them all… I would be a little concerned that Tim Mcwhorter recently left. Allan R is a sales guy and Hunter… Kyle is his kid… I’m sure they learned a lot from Tim but it does add some uncertainty and concern… at least for the short term I wouldn’t put Cooper in the same category… it’s a production rifle and 99% shoot but you’ll have to put some work into tuning and they’ll not likely shoot like the others mentioned without lots more effort. My favorite builder is Mark Bansner. Fit and finish, attention to detail is best in the business IMHO. His stocks have always been incredible but his new ones are freak’n bomb proof... something like 10% lighter and 80% stronger. He’s been the goto smith for Ovis for 30 years for good reason That said there are tons of great builders listed on this post and you probably can’t go wrong with any of them… getting a new one built is pretty addictive [/QUOTE]
