I love seeing customers having success bout a month ago I got a chance to build a gun for a 18year old kid for a graduation present. We decided on 270 WSM with factory 140 nosler ammo. Get this back today as the kid just opened up the gun today... Here is the gun and a 2 shot group at 200 yards. Then tells me cold bores a 5 gallon bucket at 1000yards. Love this stuff.

Great looking rifle Derrick! You need to take that 6.5 of mine to a 1000 to see what it will do.

 The shooter can't get it done if the smith doesn't do his part. Well done, again.

Reminds me of two kids I graduated with, one wanted a ski boat, the other wanted two tickets + lodging for the Indy 500. Nice to see a kid get something that can be a memory for life. Hope the kid keeps it for lifetime.
