New game in town
Mark Bansner is giving the big makers some competition, best price I've saw on a semi custom rifle

I've been watching them for about a month now. They look nice, the Ed Brown action is a winner for sure. I wish they had faster twists in the smaller Cals. For the price, I would probably buy a Howa Alpine (Basner stock), a Forbes or a Nosler then rebarrel it with a fast twist and be the same price as a LAW.
There's a 35 page thread on 24hr about them. LAW is going to change some twists, but still not to an 8 on the 243 or 22/250.
If I didn't have a .270 being built, I wouldn't mind one in .270.
The strange thing is, the 280 is a 9 twist, 280 Ack is a 10 twist and the 7mm Rem mag is a 9 twist...

Mark told me once he just wanted to build great rifles, he never really liked the marketing/business part of his job, reckon he's now doing what he likes doing. hope he does well, he's one of the best smiths in the country.

Have you thought about a 6.5 WSM? I happen to know of one available, with a nice Richards microfit stock, I know how you like wood over synthetics...
