I have had 10-12 different rifles built buy some of top gunsmith here in the US.
After seeing a Surgeon rifle shoot a 1/2" group at 200 yards I had to try one. Needless to say, all my bolt rifles are now Surgeons!
Just a question since you didn't state it's purpose....do you plan to use the rifle for hunting or target shooting or competition or what? I only ask because the Razor rifles that Surgeon offers usually come in calibers designed for varmint hunting....If you want to use it for target/competition, I'd take a look at the Scalpel rifles ALSO.....Not bashing the Razor's at all, everything Surgeon makes is top notch stuff, just trying to offer advice...
Absolutly, don't even think twice about it. It doesn't matter which combination you decide to go with, Surgeon actions are the best. GAPrecision built mine, a buddy of mine has one built by Surgeon, they are amazing rifles. You will not be disappointed.
Waiting here on my 338 LM GAP Surgeon, Manners, Bartlein build here so that's my vote. Turned down a few other possibles along the way that would have been way cheaper including a Rem. 700 GAP build or a Sako TRG 42. Buy American, including the components and labor.

Could not agree more. I'm biased I suppose, but I could have picked any other make/model when I researched a new rifle build. The results are that I am very happy with my Surgeon Scalpel.
I bought a Scalpel in 6.5 Creedmore late last year and it is a fantastic rifle. Shoots much better than I can and the fit and finish are first rate.
When I bought my rifle I had originally been toying with idea of having a Scalpel built in 308 on an AICS 2.0 in FDE. I had email Surgeon a few times about this before I decided just to buy the Creedmore they had on their site. To my surprise Surgeon swapped out the black skins on the rifle I bought with FDE skins without me even asking. I also got a followup email about three weeks after buying the rifle to see if I was happy. You can't beat service like that.
I have nothing but good things to say about Surgeon, and Stephen from Surgeon Rifles. They are a week away from completing a Remedy for me, and a couple months from completing a Scalpel. Every time I've called Stephen has bent over backwards to help out and answer every question I had. If you have the money, like everyone has said, buy a Surgeon, you won't be disappointed.

In my mind they are the best of the best. </div></div>
Did surgeon build all four of these rifles or are they built by someone else with a surgeon action?
