narrowed it down to 2 builders..

Why did you decide not to just have Surgeon do it?

All of these smiths are good to go also.... GAP, Patriot Arms Inc., Terry Cross/KMW, Randy Cain/RD Precision.

well surgeon is not out the question yet either.......(i guess shouldve made a different title to the thread!!)

gotta make some phone calls today!

[SHIVAN]

I don't know the other name you mentioned, but I'd never hesitate to get another GAP rifle.

You might even be able to save some time and buy one used off of Sniper's Hide.

Preston is really making a name for himself and if I were buying one of his actions direct from him he would be my choice for the whole rifle. otherwise I'd look to GAP or Patriot Arms. KMW and R&D are not accepting work at this time, and IBA has a several year wait.

George at GAP just built me a gun, I couldn't be happier.

[jayjaytuner]

Well made up my mind, gonna have GAP build it.
6 months plus from now i'll post some pics etc.
(the mcmillans are running about 6 months now aparently)
thanks for all the input!

You must be looking for a McMillan stock that George & Crew don't already have?

They usually have a decent supply of A5's in their shop.

There are usually a few floating around another site I'm on.

FWIW,

im not sure yet if they have any it was kinda just a guess, gotta wait about a week before i call & get it ordered anyhow waiting on some funds.....
i was gonna go with a grey and black marble A5 so its prob gonna have to be ordered. althoguh if they had a black in stock i wouldnt hesitate to go with it.

Mr. Jason,
if you have to have the marble then your definately in for the wait game.

FWIW here is a picture of my GAP/Surgeon .260 that George & Crew did for me.

Mr. Jason,
if you have to have the marble then your definately in for the wait game.

If not here is a link (mods, if I'm not suppose to do this please feel free to delet it) to a site that I'm a member of. The link is to a Black McMillan A5

I do not know the seller in a way shape or form, just trying to help out.

Mr. Jason,
bolt knob is Badger.

FWIW, the bolt design is slightly different from the Surgeon to Remmy.

Surgeon is a straight 90* off of the bolt.
Remmy has a slight sweep back.



Above photo shows the 90* off of the bolt I was talking about. This was on an old rifle I sold lastyear.

If your going with the molded in color have Kelly inlet it for the Surgeon.
