Wanting to build a custom rifle. Wanting to find some options to the big name builders. Maybe someone in an upstart shop. I am not looking for a deal on price just option to get a custom rifle by an up and comeing gunsmith to build it

There are going to be a lot of choices I'm sure. This guy has been spoken of quite highly but I have not used him myself. Skaggs
Likewise for this one. Duanes

I don't know of anyone closer to you. Nate

This summer I quit my day job moved to South Dakota to start up full time gunmaking. Not sure where your interest is. This is the kind of rifle work I enjoy doing. It's a 30-338mag bedded in a sea of Bisonite and free floated.

I've noticed that you do some pretty nice work in both wood and metal, gunmaker.

There are tons of good smiths out there. It just depends on the type of rifle you want. Gunmaker, that is a sweet gun you posted!

Here is another good smith that deserves a look:

As long as you are in PA give Tom Farmer a call in Emporium, PA. His shop is called Rytek. He builds longrange stuff but he will build anything you want and his work is great and prices I think are great too. He has done alot of work for me and I also bought his own 6-284. His phone (814-486-3188) his hours are 9am-2pm 3pm-6 or so pm
