This thread has been dead for almost 15 years... That's a lot of time to research. I'd hope by now he's figured out who he wants to build his rifle.

Maybe he's still waiting for the smith to finish it. Saw where one guy waited 6 years!Well he should have figured out by now ! I'm wanting to see some pictures !!!!
So, did you end up getting a quality product in the end?Jon Beanland, Melvin Forbes and GA Precision are all excellent...and there are others. Sometimes, the most important thing is to know who to avoid. For instance, one to avoid is Lane Precision (Dallas Lane) in Pocatello, ID. He will insist on a big deposit, will take three times longer than promised to finish, will not return calls, and will not give a refund even if he builds the wrong rifle (eg. a right hand rifle for a left hand shooter). The guy just does not like people and will treat you that way. A custom rifle build should be fun. So choose a reputable builder like those above and you'll be good. A glitzy website and some nice web photos does not mean the guy is fair, fun, honorable or even competent.
Screw that! I won't even wait 6 months... My smith does them in a week or 2 turn-around from the day I drop off the parts...Maybe he's still waiting for the smith to finish it. Saw where one guy waited 6 years!
