[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 2731686, member: 85987"] My grandfather then my dad have built all of the custom rifles I have owned. My dad's health has now put an end to his shop work. I tried a few people with small jobs. One I paid up front for a bedding job and a stock 7 months later I picked up my rifle that had never been touched because the index marks I put on the action screws showed they hadn't been touched. He claimed the stock he got in wasn't what he ordered and then refused to return any of the money I had paid him. 2nd smith suggested a 10tw 7mm mag so didn't bother after that statement. Lastly is the younger guy I met a few months ago. I had him shorten a 308 put on a timed brake and pin the recoil lug so I can use it as a switch barrel. The rifle was done the following afternoon. The brake was larger than the barrel and I wanted the full size of the brake so he tapered the brake and it came out great. He also cleaned up my chamber and set the barrel back 1 thread after he ground flat the lug. This wasn't asked for but greatly appreciated. All for the agreed price. I think I found my new smith to say the least [/QUOTE]
