Don't know the man but from doing a bit of research, it appears that the gunsmithing world has lost a giant. Watched his bedding videos and was very impressed and inspiring. May he Rest In Peace.

RIP. He was supposed to be the best accuracy gunsmith in the land. I wanted one of his builds but did not have the patience to wait. Condolences to his family and friends.

Loved Robert. I didn't know he was ill. Had my 338 Norma done by him..always loved to visit with him. We had some mutual friends in South Texas.

Sorry to hear, i contacted him and received a strange email from him about a month or so ago-- it makes more sense now. Hope he physically and mentally rests in peace. Thoughts and prayers to his family and those that are mourning his loss.

Terrible news. I always enjoyed listening to him, a man of details. He will be missed, deepest condolences to his friends and loved ones!

I ended up getting contacted by Robert after I posted wtb as for a 28 Nosler. Long story short he had a 28 Nosler partially completed with no owner and after he learned about me he was determined to finish it for me.

He called every day until the rifle was in my hands to see how I was holding up at work dealing with covid (I was deployed with Fema on an ambulance in New Jersey at the time).

Even after I was home and had the rifle he called at least weekly to check on my family and I and to just chat about anything and everything.

Sadly I still haven't had time to shoot the 28 Nosler. It's an absolutely amazing rifle and I'm sure it shoots great but a part of me wants to leave it unfired for a while but I know that's not what Robert would have wanted.

He always treated me well and was constantly offering me to come down and make my rifle a switch barrel or build something new for the cost of parts alone.

Robert saw something in me he connected with and was free with his time and knowledge and for that I am grateful.

RIP my friend.

I have several barrels and rifles chambered by him. Outstanding smith and knowledge base. Prayers and condolences to his friends and family.

Definitely one of the good guys who had built a stellar reputation, which isn't easy in the gun world. Seems like there is always someone that can't be pleased. I never have heard or seen a single negative thing about him or his work. That speaks volumes.

RIP Mr Gradous. Prayers for his family.
