[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2312214, member: 116439"] One thing that I can put into this thread is that when you want a "Custom build" do a lot of RESEARCH - REASERCH - RESEARCH!!!! 1) Know exactly what caliber you want, what you are using it for and what bullets/loads you want. 2) MAKE SURE that it is want you want to used for your specific hunt. It will be a lot of money and time only to find out you want to change in the middle of the build because someone or something new comes out from a manufacture. 3) What components you want and manufacture. Stock/Action/Trigger/Brake/Barrel/twist rate, length 4) how much do you want it to weigh 5) What optics and mounting system(s) 6) Another good point is if you can purchase all the components in advance THAT YOU WANT and send to you gunsmith. That way all your gunsmith has to do is chamber the barrel and maybe milling for the stock and assemble. This could save you a lot of time, your gunsmith doesn't have to look all over and wait for inventory of the components you want and you get what you wanted because you bought it. 7) You should also look for ammo in advance if you don't reload. 8) If you do reload get your dies, bullets, brass, primers, powder before or while your firearm is being built. Nothing worse than waiting for a rifle for months and then you can't find any reloading components. The most IMPORTANT thing is once you find a gunsmith have a written agreement on what work is going to be preformed regarding components installed, processes used(reaming) SAMMI -Custom -get specs, agreed prices and an estimated time frame to finish. Do NOT hold the gunsmith responsible for late time frames when they are getting components from other manufactures. 9) Asking for special requests will cost you special prices. If you saw what the gunsmith has in expenses for equipment/machinery/tooling and then to purchase a custom reamer for a wildcat or wanting to use a "New Reamer" on your barrel-you would agree with what you might say high prices. LAST I am sure that if you follow the above mentioned items that you will come out with your DREAM firearm! [/QUOTE]
