[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1825794, member: 112413"] I would point out that what I said about having a piece of yourself in each build and that pride in the result precludes my selling it just to build another for new load development. I would never sell any of my builds as they are made to be developed fully and enjoyed by future generations. I build each gun for a purpose and specific use, A smaller caliber varmint rifle, a deer rifle and mirror image back-up for problems that could arise during a hunting season, a mid caliber long range target/hunting rifle, a tactical heavy barrel bipod equipped for my son, and now looking at a figured claro walnut wood stocked carbon barreled build that an aging friend that makes stocks will help with. Still room there to build an ultra light and see how light I can get it with todays products. None of these guns will leave, just complete an inheritance for future shooters and hunters in the family at some point. Actually its optics I sell to upgrade, no attachment or piece of me there, trade or sell one off for another without thought. Just another way of looking at it I guess. I do see the custom guns for sale on this sites classifieds and don't really understand it....maybe if you have another make it there isn't that same attachment? Don't really know... Oh by the way, That is one SWEET gun Brent! Dave [/QUOTE]
