Not close by but a hell of a gun. And not cheap. The story and the rifles are intriguing. I haven't perused these guns for quite a few years and again felt like Ginger gazing upon Mary Ann.

Not close but I would call Joel at Nite Owl in Dickinson. He puts out as nice of a custom as anyone out there and the cost won't be out of hand either.

^^^^I'm sorry man. I thought you were hacking on me. If you read my original post here please disregard. It was quite amusing...but damn it I'm sorry. I hate being a fucktard.

What is your build plan?

I'm kicking around the idea of a 6.5 prc or a 280 Ackley. Right now I shoot a 300 short. That gun with scope, bipod and can go well over 10 pounds. I want to get something lighter for packing around if I ever draw a tag in rougher country. I would go with a carbon proof barrel and a trigger tec. But after that unsure what stock or action to use. I would like to visit with a gunsmith and see if they have some stocks laying around to size up and see what feels right.

I’d have a hard time not just buying a Kimber Mt Ascent in 280AI.

if you’re dead-set on the PRC, perhaps source a Kimber WSM and re-barrel.

id not spend the extra for a carbon-wrapped bbl and a new stick when Lilja and a few others will duplicate lightweight factory contours.

Nathan Dagley at Straight Shot Gunsmithing in Center,ND.

His work and craftsmanship is top notch. And he holds several marksman titles, so he knows what works.

Give Christopher Meyer a call at Alliance Custom Armory. I have a couple of his rifles and they are awesome. He will be able to build to your spec. His shop is over by Ottertail, MN, so now too far from you.

I’m getting a custom .240 weatherby with a 1:7 twist. That will be fun.
