RE: custom rifle
 

I have had a few rifles built by local gunsmiths. And from now on, no more. I took a look a Melvin Forbes NULA. Finest lightwight rifles available in my opinion. Shoots like a freaking benchrest gun. You can get it for 3K.

RE: custom rifle
 

To me, that hobby of collecting custom rifles is too pricey, I think a regular gun can kill anything as good, if not better than a custom rifle.

I have decided on Long Shot Rifles by Chris Matthews. thanks for all of the help chad

RE: custom rifle
 

Why did you choose that riflemaker? I'm just curious.

RE: custom rifle
 

mostly by recommendation from past customers of the company and his shop is only about 2 hrs. from my house. I would rather spend my money close to home {Missouri} and be able to pick the rifle up myself so if there are any issues I can deal with them face to face and not have to play phone or e-mail tag as I have had to in the past. chad

RE: custom rifle
 

Yup, your right. Each rifle job for him is different...depending on how you want a rifle spec'd out. In my opinion, a reputable custom rifle person cannot list prices...when he/she is doing jobs based on customer requests.

best of luck

Chad, IMHO...you cannot go wrong with Chris. He did a great job buildingus a competition/hunting rifle around an OLD .308rem 700 action.

best of luck
