About a Year ago, I charged Kevin Cram with the job of building my rifle. I sent him an action, a barrel (that didn't fit the stock) and a mcmillian stock. He received my parts and after a very short time said "you need another barrel. The one you sent is too big."
Well, I bought another and had it sent to him. He received it and told me from the start, "I just got a big order so your project is going to take me a few months longer than I planned." Ohh, By the way, GREAT COMMUNICATION!!!!!! The entire time he kept to his time table. If something came up, I am sure her would have called but he was right on time when I asked for updates and never took long to respond. He also is a wealth of information about what route to go in terms of the build….. ANyway, I sent him a trigger and it was funny, when I called to see if he received it, he laughed and said, "I thought I got an early Christmas present!!!" We both laughed and he just said if you send anything else, have your name on it so I know it is for you.
So, while he is doing other things, I found someone to buy my barrel. Kevin shipped it next day no problem.
He put the gun together and, I have to say, without reservations, the quality is SUPURB!!!
I made the choice to use him because of his reviews here but also his Youtube video showing how he does what he does and the clarity with which he speaks!
I have included a couple pictures and I would say his prices are fair and reasonable and craftsmanship are exemplary
How she shoots is another question…. I just took her out last week for barrel break in. Shot 3 and cleaned with this 6.5x284 and my Mcmillian 6.5x284.
No loads no pics of shots. Going to take it out again soon and make some loads.
The barrel is ( I now you guys are going to think I am crazy but I really don't pay attention to specifics) Kreiger or Bartlein 26in 1-8 twist.
Can't think of anything else so here are pics and the main reason to post this was to give props to Kevin for a beautiful job and a great business transaction!!!
Thank you Kevin!!!!
