I'm going to build a BLR lever action .416 ruger. I can contact a gunsmith and hand him some money and he will hand me a finished rifle. I assume it would be perfect right then, but I actually don't know that much about this particular gunsmith. Or, I can get the rifle in 300 win mag and build it with my friend/gunsmith down the street. He isn't a lever action smith. He is very good at the things he specializes in, accurate bolt guns, restoring old guns, M1A platforms. I would also like to learn a bit about the lever guns. But it does leave me a bit apprehensive.

So who is the smith? There is a good chance that someone here knows his work. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Go with the guy down the street; that way you will learn how it is done.. Anyone can pay money and walk away but never learn anything. As long as he can thread and chamber a barrel, he can do it. | |||

It is hard to argue with experience. Who knows what quirks they may have have already learned to overcome in the build. Looks like a fantastic DGR. I love my BLR. | |||
