Did you build it with him?

I really have to do that one day. What a great time it must be to be able to learn from a guy with his qualifications and reputation all while building your own rifle.
 
No I wasn't able to do the gunsmithing class but I did get to see him put together some of the rifle. The short amount of time I was there was a awesome time.
Here is the man, the myth, the legend behind the rifle.

Very Nice!

And one of my favorite cartridges too.

Easy to see Mr. Gradous is a small details/perfectionist, type. Notice not only the carpet on the bench top...but the edges are sewn over to finish it off.

It was nice meeting you to. I was wondering if that was your rifle in the other Gradous thread. I will give the 180 hybrids a try. That is a awesome 6.5X47 and please keep your thread updated with groups so we can all see the progress.
