For 10K they should include an Elk hunt. All jokes aside this is for about 1% of the hunting population that can afford it. I purchased a 300 WSM Falkor Defense LW7 20" Carbon Barreled action with Bix'n Andy Dakota Trigger from Oregon Mountain Rifle CO $2,500 Purchased an MDT HNT 26 Chassis Arca forearm folding butt stock on sale $1,200 weight 28 oz "Which I can remove and use on any short action Rem 700" Wyoming Arms 4 sq TI Suppressor 4" 4oz $650 Tax Stamp $200 Leupold HD 6 3x18x44 $1,500 on sale Talley Light weight scope mounts $65 Hawkin Hunter 3 round Mag $100 Gun setup loaded weighted in at 7.7 lbs. .5 MOA 200 gr LRX 2850 FPS Handload myself 200 rds $400 my time.

Total Price $7,550 $10,000 - $7,550 = $2,450 savings enough to buy 2 years' worth of Elk and Muledeer tags in Montana. And did I need $7,550 gun including accessories to harvest an animal HELL NO but I'm 60 years old and just wanted it. It's Lite and Folds up short and easy to pack for this old man
I appreciate your real world examples because they are not the typical hand waving estimates that most people give when talking about the budget option, or any other option besides who is sponsoring them. Getting geared up the first time around doesn’t seem so expensive now.
The units in the eastern, central eastern and north eastern part of the state have the highest draw odds of any units in the state. The area is beautiful and there are motels in towns like Lusk, Douglas, Gillette. The odds for some of them used to be 100%. I haven’t looked lately but with previous tough winters that’s probably dropped a little. Good luck!
@@Wyoming_Wild I just torqued my barrel on last night and shot it this morning with factory ammo 200eldx, put the first 3 into .75 inches and then zeroed the scope, shot 5 into 1/2” after that… crazy accurate for the first few shots
The second box looks like it was opened and reclosed with tape just like the first one. Do you think CC checked it before they shipped it? It looks like the box was originally stapled closed.
The owner of Gunwreks is a rare guy! Has a passion for what he’s doing and is reflected in his products. Have a friend with some of his early products they work. Enjoy your time in the field with those kiddos and make some memories
Oh, the LS-364 C Ranger, is one fine set of legs! Very stiff and very minor flex in the legs. I’m 6’-3”, and with the ball head, and long spikes, it is almost perfect height. I’m sure it will come up short ( no pun ) if I encounter uneven terrain. I will probably add a leveling base, and maybe a column, @ some point, and that should help. I use it for Photography. Peace
I have built three guns on the Zermatt TL3 action. I am using proof research pre-fit carbon fiber wrapped barrels. Two of my guns are 6.5 CM and the other is 6mm ARC. My Zermatt actions are the best actions that I have ever used. ElmoColt45 described his difficulty with Zermatt’s Customer Service. I have to say that I am extremely surprised. I contacted Customer Service several times between the three actions and I was always able to talk to a person and got immediate responses to my emails. Now with all that said, my issues quite minor. Now concerning the issue of light primer strikes. I have a couple of questions. First, what are the results with your go and no-go gauges? If your bolt closes on the no-go gauge, I think you really need to get your barrel milled for the action. Second question, what ammunition are you using? If you are using hand loads I would seriously look at your primers and how deep they are seated. Zermatt should respond to you and again, I am really surprised that they haven’t. But as I pointed out, there are other things, other than the action itself that could be the cause of light primer strikes. Someone asked how long does it take to get an action after you order it. It takes between 6 and 8 weeks to get your action after you pay your $100 non refundable deposit. They don’t make it until they have a confirmed order.
I will say that this setup is heavier then a Clymr with Ti action by probably a pound. It’s 9.5 lbs with the 300 PRC barrel, but what you give up in lightness you certainly gain in flexibility and who wants only one caliber anyway! We always want different calibers for different things.
Nice. I’ve thought several times of doing a switch barrel rifle. Have looked at several options from shouldered prefits to the West Texas Ordnance Switch Lug. It would be much more economical than the several dozen rifle/scope combos I have. I’ve thought about taking 4 of my favorite customs and doing a switch barrel to cover the Creed, SAUM, 06 AI’s and PRC families.
The versatility of rifles like this and even folding stock style rifles are going to to be the future of this sport. I think a lot of other major manufacturers will get on board with them. One rifle can fit so many niches that shooters are going to want that rather then having a safe full of different rifles. You should consider any of the action manufacturers that proof makes prefits for too. Any of those will allow you to switch barrels with just a barrel vice and the actions like Zermatt allow you to change the bolt head too. That’s why Proof made that rifle “The Switch”. It was a limited deal but super appealing for all the reason I mentioned above. Some other barrel manufacturers do prefits too. 700 style actions are very user friendly with multiple stock options, barrel lengths etc, but Savage and Tikka are putting out stuff now that the aftermarket has made really configurable and easy to change/modify. Anyway I could talk for hours about this LOL! Good luck you won’t be disappointed.
@@Wyoming_Wild I currently have several custom rifles from top builders built on actions Proof makes prefits for. I’ve thought about selling several of my rifles I don’t hunt with and going prefit route. I say this as I’m picking up a custom built 6 Creedmoor this week from my builder😂
@@Wyoming_Wild honestly I don’t know. They say Variety is the spice of life…..they also say beware of the man with one rifle!! In all honesty, I’d say a prefit setup like yours is ideal for a serious hunter. One premium optic with CDS Turrets built for each premium barrel chambered in a modern cartridge.
sure is beautiful and i love the option to swap out barrels and have the PRC family but how does it shoot? accuracy? reliabilty of feeding from mag? comfort of shooting with the stock design? etc...
That is a very nice truck you have. But there is a major major and I mean major difference between the two. Especially the interior is so much more refined and updated. And the suspension major difference gone with the leaf spring. But anyway that is a nice truck you have.
Thanks I have no doubt. I’ve already sold it and I’m trying a gladiator rubicon. I’m not a huge fan but I can beat it up in the mountains without being as worried about a scratch
I have the same rims. Someone told me they have a tendency to rust right behind the fake black beadlock ring. Water gets stuck there and corrodes the metal.
I thought you’re about to say you bought a this 2020 Ford raptor for 17,200!!! My 1st question next was gonna be “ can I stay at your place when I fly out 2 Wyoming for the weekend to buy This same exact truck 😅😅😅 and the LEGO Ford Raptor with the remaining budget $$$$$🤣😂
I tried to see if they’d sell a stock for a tikka action but no luck. These stocks are amazing. I do love tikkas though I just wish I could get the negative comb and the features the nexus has on the stock in a hunting focused package
My experience with Gunwerks has been disappointing to say the least....I toured their facility a couple years ago with the intention of putting an order in for a new Clymr build however that didn't happen because I left a little underwhelmed after taking the tour. I couldnt really understand a 10K package when I actually added up the individual components and the perspective cost of putting the rifle together and load validation...it just didnt make sense....what I'm a actually paying all this extra money for....and I'm talking thousands over the components and glass. I however loved the Clymr stock ( $1100 ) so much I purchased one seperate which I ended up returning for quality control issues the paint on the stock was terrible......runs, blotches, it was terrible. They promptly took it back and returned it in about the same shape as it left, so oh well, I shipped it to Area 419 who put a Bartlein Carbon fiber barrel and Defiance action and it shot amazing. However there was much discussion on how crude the action inlet was and how much work it actually took to get the Defiance to fit correctly even after I spec'd it specifically for that action. Fast forward to about a month ago one of my local shops had a Nexus for sale topped with a Kahles 3-18, 12.5K if I recall. Rifle seemed to be really nice however when we tried to drop the magazine it was extremely hard to release and once it finally did we could not get it to seat back properly. The owner stated 3 out of 5 Gunwerks rifles they order has had issues of some kind and they were not going to be a dealer anymore because of the customer complaints. I really hope you're rig works out great because they are very innovative and forward thinking company however I do believe quality control is def lacking and for that price.....thats unacceptable for the majority of serious shooters.
Most of the haters would LOVE to have a custom Holland & Holland rifle, even an used one, IF they could afford it. They would still rather bitch about an American company founded by two brothers, who have been in business over 10yrs producing an ever evolving great though expensive product. What are you mad at? The fact that you weren’t born with a silver spoon up your ass, you didn’t pay attention in school, what? Oh that’s right, long distance shooting isn’t hunting, and grandpas 80yo rifle can do everything a Gunwerks rifle can do. Fine then. Go home empty handed from that expensive guided elk hunt because you can’t shoot across a valley. To each their own.
Yes I think there’s a ton of this especially across social media platforms. There’s also a lot of value in less expensive rifles that still shoot well. You don’t always buy a Gunwerks just because it shoots. The quality, innovation, materials are all top notch. Just like any good custom.
You drank the Kool-Aid over price overhyped too many rifles in the $2500 range. They can do anything that Rifle can do unless you’re one of those guys that can figure anything for yourself and you need someone to do everything for you and all you have to do is take it out of the box.
@@Wyoming_WildI couldn't agree more. Any watch can tell time. You buy a Rolex or breitling for example because of the craftmanship. I've also drank the gunwerks koolaid and it tastes great.
