Let’s talk about custom hunting rifles

[jpm2953]

If you're spending time and money on custom guns, that's time and money you're not spending on shooting and hunting. And, yes, I am significantly smarter than most of the people you're ever met.

Spoken like a true poor person.

Just joking. Some people have the money to buy nice things and still practice and be good.

Just not the grammar part is what he meant

I save money by never practicing. I can afford more rifles if I never have to buy ammo.

Back in the day, Sears made some very good custom rifles. I have a 30 06 built on an FN Mauser receiver, custom stock, and the bolt is slick ass a button. Last deer brought down at 200 yds

Here's my custom Kauger Arms 243ai, 22" Proof carbon barrel and stock. About as lightweight one wants without a brake. It's a one hole wonder with 4 different HL loads and will shoot any factory ammo less than 1 moa. Hornady and Norma factory ammo at 1/2" moa. Kauger Arms is a local gun builder from Hazelhurst GA.

Only one I ever had built from the ground up…

This old Brown Precision from the 70’s was pretty “custom” in its day…

I'm eventually going to have something assembled from a custom shop. I've had rifles worked on, but that's it. I want something pretty lightweight with a shorter barrel to use with a suppressor. I can't find anything off the shelf that's close enough to what I want. I "need" that rifle like I need a hole in my head.

It's becoming easier and easier to assemble a top tier custom bolt gun at home. Some of the aftermarket actions have such incredibly tight tolerances that pre-fit barrels from a number of mfg's are real options with a plethora of chambering, length, profile and material options. All you need is a barrel vice, action wrench and torque wrench and you can put it together in your basement. Choose your chassis/stock and off to the races.

This is the way

Gunwerks is the way to go.
