    Bolt Action Build

    mlh29' Thank you for the introduction to Gradous Rifles. After simply looking over his website and viewing some of his builds I am highly intrigued. I believe that he could help me in my search for a custom built and fit rifle.

    Bolt Action Build

    Cobracutter, Not that I care, but I am intrigued, how is my post that of a Troll? I simply want to know so that I do not make the mistake again, I am hoping to get feedback from a forum membership that has opinions I respect, so I simply asked the question I would like input on.

    Bolt Action Build

    Swampbuck, good point, I suppose I was being a little to vague when asking for input. I realize that I could take the $ and hand it to a fancy precision rifle builder and have a great rifle that would perform as it should. However I am somewhat of a stubborn man and I like feel what I am...

    Grizzdude. Thanks for the reply. The Savage was an attractive option that I looked into. As far as a factory rifle it seems to offer a lot.

    Bolt Action Build

    So here I am posting for the first time on SH and I am going to ask a question that will draw much debate and controversy and hopefully some good results. I am looking to build a long range (1000+ yard) accurate, bolt action rifle and would like the help of the SH members to recommend top of...
