[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1315374, member: 27307"] Andy, Given a choice of any of the top dozen gunsmiths in this country, I know that you won't go wrong. They all have great reputations which have been developed over time with a devotion to quality and customer service. Every forum website has their own version of a 'house gunsmith', the one who they support with recommendations and use as an example of the work they approve of. The members are certainly the same, everyone has an opinion as to who is the best and they are convinced that their opinion is the only one that counts. Since this is your first custom rifle, I can suggest that you take the time to call or e-mail any of the top 3 or 4 gunsmiths you are considering, to conduct an interview based on what type of rifle and components you are considering. I give this suggestion with great reservation simply because the more time a gunsmith spends on the phone or writing an e-mail, the less time he has to devote to the workload on his bench. It's truly a double-edged sword. But sometimes you have to have a conversation with the experts in order to resolve the design and components you really need and want to have for your build. In that vein, my opinion runs to GA Precision because of their expertise in designing actions along with the knowledge and experience to utilize the best/newest technology and techniques available which assures you that your build will be the best. You are also drawing on folks that hunt and shoot competitively all the time, using their own designs to gain more experience. The GAP Non-Typical is the outcome of George's hunting experiences and his developmental work on the 6.5 GAP 4S cartridge. Call them and ask for Ken who will gladly walk you through your thoughts to help you determine what will work best for you. Regards. [/QUOTE]
