[QUOTE="260shooter, post: 12785, member: 2988"] [b]Re: who\'s the best custom rifle builder[/b] I would start with the rifles intended purpose, paper punching, hunting. Will it be carried far (weight will be a concern). If the intended target is an animal, the cartridge will have to have enough power, and since you are on this site, it will need to be inherrently accurate enough to put a round on target at distance. Some questions a good smith might ask would be. Target animal (the biggest you will hunt). Caliber choice. Cartridge choice. Bullet choice, this will help the smith decide the twist rate that best suits the application. Weight, that gets you into stock selection, barrel contour, hardware on the rifle (rings and mounts, bottom metal). Will you want a break? This will reduce felt recoil and allow a lighter rifle. There tons of options. Do some home work to figure out your needs. My olny suggestion is buy the best you can afford so you olny have to do it once.
