It seems, to me, custom rifle builders these days don’t even care about your business if you’re not a top tier competitor and/or build 5 rifles a year. I got tired of the puss poor customer service and hellish wait times. I tried two others and they fell flat as well. No communication and 10 month wait times. That’s what led me to the Origin and prefits. Same with you, once i mentioned the prefit barrel route due to my former rifle builder after being treated like a beggar, suddenly, he became offended at my departure and bad mouthed the prefit idea. I’m not sure where the primadonna attitude of some of these machinists is rooted but I’ve had enough. The prefit path seems much less resistant.

Same here, your right. The gunsmith nowdays are competing really hard trying to keep up with industry, and the prs, fclass , short range benchrest in the past few years has sky rocketed,. Components , are best thats ever been, too. Bullets, and more efficient cartridges, also have uped peoples interest. ELR, aswell.

Gunsmiths and limitless excuses? Don't you mean the couple gunsmiths you have dealt with. Customers bring me their shit and I do whatever they want plain and simple. There are lead times but that's not my fault or any other guys fault that's in this line of work. What we get tired of is customers who do things like constantly message us for two weeks saying they are bringing their garbage to us to do this or that to it but then when time comes no call, no show us and it's frustrating when your a by appointment only custom rifle builder like myself. Or when your typical hunters who break or foul up their junk last November hunting decide two weeks before hunting season the following year starts that they will finally have it fixed and want it back immediately because they weren't smart enough to do it when the issue occurred or during the summer while they were doing absolutely nothing. We put up with a lot of dumb sh*t from customers, some even try to argue with us because apparently the typical hunter who shoots his rifle once a year knows more than the rifle builder/1000yd competition benchrest shooter/f open class shooter who has 25yrs experience knows. Just ask them they will tell you. If you went to someone reputable like myself or my colleagues who have an impeccable reputation for every Custom rifle they turn out of their shop you would not have an issue

I have a 25-06AI that I put together on a howa action. Bought a preferred barrel blanks barrel and a brownells chassis. All parts cost me less than 1k and the gun shoots smaller groups than my friends Remington 5r in 6.5cm. He has $700 in gun smith fee's on top of a $850 gun with a $250 trigger. I'm not ever gonna say that a "home built" bolt gun is better than one put together by a competent gunsmith... but it can dang sure be AS GOOD and usually for much cheaper and quicker.

I bought an impact 737r about a year ago now and bought a proof prefit in 6.5 CM Edit: (because I still had a lot of reloading components and brass for it), torqued her down and I rarely shoot paper targets, but when I do, I am seeing a running average at around .35 ish moa with 140 ELD-M. Never even talked to a smith, and never will talk to a smith regarding the rifle. When the barrel gets shot out down the line, I plan to go with a 6 GT, or if something better comes out by then. I agree whole heatedly with what your statements despite how controversial the may be in some places.

I see this done more often. Another popular shooting you tube channel built one, quite reasonably and it shot in the quarter to half inch range all day with little load development. It seems like that particular rifle can shoot a wide range of bullets and loads well. I think they had about $2000 into it. It could have been cheaper as they opted for a Cadillac trigger.

Built this gun three years ago and it’s been nothing but impressive, 3/8 groups with 168 cutting edge mht 5 kills with it from 80-900 yards I love being ale to build a gun at my house with all the parts and no gunsmith. I love having the ability to change calibers if needed turning my one custom gun into a base to hunt and shoot whatever I want without using a gunsmith and waiting to get it back.

If using a Savage style removable barrel sistem, once you have it headspaced and locknut torked to specs. How about drilling and tapping a set screw through the locknut and barrel, so you can remove the barrel and locknut in one pice and consistently replace it just by torking down the the nut to specs?. You could have preset barrels in dif calls from 257 Wby to 458 Win with the same rifle

@@WillyK51 great idea but when I do buy another barrel it’ll be a shouldered style no barrel nut. There’s plenty of options for pre-fit chambered barrels that I don’t need to run the barrel nut. When I built this gun the options where limited. Also I’ve shot a lot of animals with it the way it is and honestly with having so much confidence in the gun I may not ever change it and just build another one in a different configuration and caliber.

@keokio7
@keokio7 2 года назад
The tolerances on these parts are so good nowadays that they all have the same exact measurements. The actions are the same exact size, and the gunsmiths know what their measurements are, so no need to send them in. Just cut a barrel according to those measurements its timed, chambered, headspaced, just right. You can switch calibers by simply switching out the barrels. You get modularity with custom level precision. Gotta love modern technology. Make sure you get a good custom action not some off the shelf remington 700.. that aint gonna work.

Your GT is dang near identical to mine. Same stock, action and scope. I’ve gotten some flak for going the “at home custom route” but I love it. I love tinkering and being able to pull barrels and learn. Not to mention after you get several of the same actions you can start switching around parts and pre fits and repurposing different actions for different things which essentially gives you several guns in one. You’ve got some sweet setups!

There is still a gunsmith cutting that barrel one way or another. You’re just creating a system where the barrels are produced in a more efficient way and can then fill a pipeline so customers have better access to them without wait times I’m not anti- prefit, I’m just saying it gets cut and chambered either way. Fwiw I would recommend always using headspace gauges to insure everything is fine. You will still eventually have a piece slip through that’s out of spec, it has happened to me on a guaranteed action before.

You are correct. But if you ask (today) most gunsmiths they will say a prefit is garbage…won’t shoot worth a crap. Gunsmiths more now that live in the custom action world of prs now get it but still don’t like it unless it is their prefit. Lol
@G5Hohn

It’s no less custom just because the machining was done by another smith. A traditional smith is ordering a barrel blank, ordering a stock blank, and ordering a custom action.
@perchowski3021
@perchowski3021 2 года назад
Another option I'm looking into I just found out about is MPA. If you buy a rifle or a chassis/action, they take all the measurements and it is saved with the serial number of the gun. When you get another barrel you have all the measurements to give the machinist. Just find a competent machinist to cut barrel to given dimensions. This way all you have to do is send your machinist a barrel blank with the measurements of your setup that is on file under it's serial# and have him cut it to the dimensions given. Should be much quicker than having an entire rifle built from scratch, and cheaper too. Barrel blanks are ~600.

How does the big horn action feel on the bolt lift? Can you provide any comparison's?
@Designhunter9125
@Designhunter9125 2 года назад
Don’t know that I can give a good comparison as I am waiting for my lone peak fuzion. I have just handled some friends kelblys, defiances, impacts and lone peaks. As far a the bolt lifts it is very smooth. I don’t typically run hot loads anymore in my magnums so that is not an issue. When I did I could get them to extract. I think the big difference (which is not a big deal) is the cycling of the bolt. On the initial push forward, if you put upward pressure on the bolt handle, you can feel it want to grab the top of the action. If you run more straight in and out it is smooth. The defiance and Kelblys actions I have messed with seemed abit more like ball bearing smooth. I have only ran the lone peak dry but I am guessing with a slight lube it will also run like butter. The reason I like the bighorn so much is the service ability of the bolt and the swappable bolt head design.

What scope rings would you use for a 300RUM on a Weatherby Vanguard frame?
@Designhunter9125
@Designhunter9125 2 года назад
Don’t know much about the Weatherby platform. On a large magnum like a rum you might consider a 6screw ring for the extra ring to scope contact surface area. Everyone has their opinion on scope mounting but I have only lapped 1 set of rings in my life due to some manufacturers imperfections. I was having the scope move under recoil on a large magnum. I have started using a very light dusting of rosin powder between the scope and rings. Very light! Never use lock tight on ring screws. I have had success with nightforce, vortex pro, Talley, mdt, spuhr.. there are a lot of great rings out there. Don’t go too cheep. In my experience this is one of the easiest areas for your rifle system to fail in the field. Next would be the trigger.

@@Designhunter9125 I'm thinking about doing a 6.5 prc for whitetail hunting and shooting out to 500 yards. I couldn't tell if your prefit on your foundation stock is 24 or 26 inches

The first rifle you had up, is that a real wood stock or is it made to look like wood?
@Designhunter9125
@Designhunter9125 2 года назад
It is a foundation stock. They are made from micarta. Fiber and resin under pressure. Very stiff and really deadens recoil impulse

Im even a step worse. I use a barrel nut to headspace

A barrel nut is not bad. Not sure how you use to headspace. Do you still use a go/no go gage?

Some say it is because your tightening against the thread instead of the shoulder and yes I still use gauges I'm just using a nut instead of a shoulder

What's the over all price tag on your builds???
@Designhunter9125
@Designhunter9125 2 года назад
It really depend on parts you choose. Lesser cost action like bighorn origin or an upper end stainless nitride, lesser cost chassis or high end Bells and whistles. This is the case for every part. Xcalibur barrels are less than a proof or prefit Bartlein.

Prefits have no shooting guarantee. Find a good gunsmith that stands behind their work and leave the unknowns of a prefit behind. Seen it locally where people have put Together a prefit “custom rifle” and it doesn’t shoot. Who do you go back to when that happens. Screw that, you get what you pay for. I’ll continue to pay my gunsmith who provides me with rifles he guaranteed shoot. I don’t even receive the rifle until is proven to shoot well.

I have had friend have smiths screw up barrels too. You are right there are no guarantees. Was just watching a video this morning and they were talking about a smith chambered barrel they just couldn’t get to shoot. It happens on both sides. I have had a proof that was cut with a worn reamer and proof was apply to clean it up for me.

@@Designhunter9125 nah, if the smith screws up that’s where he stands behind his work if he is a good gunsmith with a reputation. I know mine will 100% stand behind his work and that is why I will always go the custom route over a prefit. No one is perfect but if they have a reputation they will stand behind their work to maintain that.
