    Hey guys I just wanted to give a shout out to some top notch work. I had Robert from RW Snyder Gunsmithing spin me up another gun (I think this is the 6th or 7th he has built for me). I really randomly came across a 25 cal Brux barrel, Seekins brake, a used Manners T2 on the hide that was exactly contoured to that barrel, and a new Win 70 claw extractor long action. It killed me to have all of the parts for a build sitting on my desk and not do something with them so I shipped them off to Robert. PTG took forever to get us the 257 Wby reamer, but once that came in we were off!

    Once it got back I brought it to Matt from Tuebor Precision (local here in Grand Rapids, MI for anyone looking for a smith) and had him flute it and do the cerakote work. I will let the pictures speak for themselves, but between those two smiths I came out with one heck of a rifle!

    Enjoy! I will get some pictures in better lighting soon.
