Long distance rifle rec. AZ or elsewhere

mwarizona · Dec 27, 2024

Hi, I've read some of the older threads and there doesn't seem to be a common three recommended builders. Hoping to find someone in AZ but out of state is fine.
I'm looking to buy a custom rifle for big game hunting long range capable. Out to 800-1000. Will be back country hunting so weight is a consideration. Xbolts seem to come up a lot for stock rifles. GAP custom. Any advice would be appreciated. Thinking 7mm PRC.

I have used BMF rifles here in AZ, he does great work! I had him check out my CA ridgeline in 300wm. To which he lengthened the freebore to run the 215s and did a bunch of cerakote. He's up in the Northwest Valley

Keith over at Phoenix Custom Rifles in Tempe did a great job on my custom 7-08ai.

Since you mention the X-Bolt, I'll mention the Seekins. They're great rifles at less cost than a full custom. The Havak PH2 in 7 PRC weights 7.2 lbs and has a 26 inch 1:8 twist barrel. The Havak Element weights 6 lb and has a 22 inch barrel. The PH2 rifle costs about as much as a top end custom action all by itself.

Keith has always done a good job for me, he's built at least 6 tack drivers for me.
