I will give a 100% endorsement to the guys at McWhorter. I've owned several of their rifles and smokeless muzz's. They are all true examples of perfection of a craft.
Ive been looking for a lighter weight build and was fine with buying used as the lead times for any reputable builder is lengthy.
I happened to call Kyle (@ McWhorter) for another issue, and he informed me they were just finishing up a new build that was exactly what I was looking for......they hadn't painted the stock yet.
Keep in mind they build a few throughout the year and are sold as ready to ship....and right now their inventory is empty, as u can imagine.
Having this rifle sickness as badly as I do, I asked if he would put my name on it. He did....I picked my colors and immediately got that warm fuzzy feeling.
The point to my long story is they could have listed this rifle for sale and it would have been gone in a matter of days, at full price. Instead, they sold to me at a sizable discount.
Im not one the Uber rich that buys these rifles like filling up your gas tank. I sold a great rifle to be able to buy this one. And McWhorter knows this....they have worked with me on price and payment, when my cash flow was strapped, to get a smokeless muzz in time for the season.
I wanted to let anyone considering this rifle to know that not only will they be getting as nice a rifle as you'll see, that will shoot bug holes, but you'll also be connected to some fine people who go above and beyond to make u happy.
Last comment....they include load dev and at least 1 box of hand loads with each rifle. I know many guys prefer to do this themselves but not everyone. I've seen this service priced with other builders for as much as $1200.....IMO you'd have to be filthy rich and a poor steward of your $$, or just downright ignorant to pay $1200 for this.
Someone should scoop up this practically new laser.....If u want a different look on the stock, send it back to McWhorter and they'll paint it any flavor u like for $175, and they have some of the coolest looks out there.
