Agreed. Many talented builders, most have there own personal forms of canvas as to which they work their art on. Not to say that they cant do it all some can.
I am not into full customs yet, still running semi custom factory builds..

Re: If you had your choice...
There are so many different options you can go with depending on your use for it. If your looking for military style some people think AI are the best, the you the guys that love GAP, Tac Ops, to name a few. That list can go on and on and on.
Are you looking solely for punch tiny little holes? Something you can drag through the mud and know it will still fire no matter how dirty it is. Are you carrying it long distances is weight a issue? Is it going to be a safe queen?
You can ask that question to 50 different people and in some cases end up with 50 different answers.
It comes down the person who is buying and the use they have for it. Only YOU can decide what is the best and what you want.
For me if money was not a object I'd say I want one of all but thats just me!! As far as if money was a issue, well to some people that means 1000.00 tops to others 10,000. Its all in the perspective of the individual.

Re: If you had your choice...
I think timeframe is a bigger factor than money when choosing WHO to build. Most quality outfits are priced pretty close.
That said, if timeframe isn't a consideration, I choose Mark at SAC or Karl with Kampfeld customs. I know Karl and have seen several of his rifles. I've seen/shot several of Marks, and they are incredibly executed. Both have long waits.

6.5x47 Lapua, Bighorn Action,23" Brux Barrel M40 Contour fluted and melonited. It would sit in Ashbury Chassis and would have a USO 3.5-17 TPAL on top.
That's just something I would personally like to have. I probably never will because there's no where around here to shoot and take advantage of that round. At least no where close enough to justify building it.
Mark @ Short Action would build it. Great guy

I'd venture to say that is a most wise decision. You can't go wrong there.

Re: If you had your choice...
Yeah I'm thinking definately a class III item if money was no object and the legality was no object. After seeing and shooting one though, I think I might go with Tac Ops. Like an Area 51 or something like that. However, I might just want to have a hide member or two build me a rifle. Or even better yet, I think I'd like to go and build one with them. I really love building these things and have done a few Savage or AR platform rifles with very good success! I'd just like to have an unlimited budget for the parts!

If it was no object I would buy the equipment and schooling and do it myself
But since that is not the case I will likely go to a local guy that was recommended to me by a friend...

Yeah, I'd buy a shop, a CNC machine, etc, and build it all from scratch!
Someday...

Re: If you had your choice...
That is definitely the "money is no object " option.
Great answers all

Re: If you had your choice...
Bat single shot action with integral 20 moa base and recoil lug, jewel trigger (set at 12oz), Lilja barrel, one off custom stock with ar style grip and weight plate similar to mcrees, Nf 8-32 NPR-1, big beefy rings.
Lilja will be here in Jan, Nf 8-32 is sitting on current rifle, jewel is in current rifle, and keeping my eyes open for the action.
I don't know why, but I would rather single feed over mag feed

Sako TRG-22 in .260 Remington with the Sako folding stock option. A replacement barrel, 10 magazines and 10,000 rounds of corbon match ammo (practice & reload with the first 5K rounds, keep the next 5k for "what if" scenarios).

Re: If you had your choice...
If I had the cash, I would go with Chad Dixon, Terry Cross, John Pierce, Robert Gradous, George Gardner, Derrick Martin, Mark Gordon, Gordy Gritters............I admire them all and would love to spend time in each of their shops learning their Voodoo!
But instead, I bolt together my own shit and look forward to the day I can retire and go to gunsmithing school.
