When I was talking to different gunsmiths for a build a few years ago, I came across Robert's work. I called him up and we talked rifles for close to an hour. In the end, he told me, "I ain't fast, but I'll build you a damn good rifle." That did it right there. A few months later I went to pick it up, he took me out to lunch for fried chicken and then off to the shoot house to try it out. Right off the bench with a few generic brands of ammo that rifle was singing. That was one of the most fun days I've ever had shooting.
The .300WM he built me is unreal. I've never shot a rifle that accurate. RIP Robert.
