Quarter Minute Magnums is located in Lewiston, ID. Not a short drive but doable. My buddy just had them build a .300 win mag for him. It turned out awesome.

They do a tremendous amount for the shooting community as well.
He is also a site sponsor and his banner/link is at the top of this page.

I'll give another plug for Benchmark Barrels. There are some amazing guns coming out of that shop. :tup:

You know it! :tup: :) Their .338 barrels are incredible, once mine settled in. 70 rounds or so, it is SPOOKY accurate. I'm going to have them chamber up my 6.5-.338 Ultra Mag Improved next.

You need to hurry up with that before I build a 6.5/375 Ruger! I just want to see what sort of velocities you get so that I know what I need to do to beat them. :chuckle: But I'll do it from a pistol! :IBCOOL:

I'm going to buy a new rifle/scope combo. Thinking .300 Win mag. Does anyone know a custom rifle builder here in Washington? I'd like to be able to drive to them and shoot whatever I end up having built. I know about Gunwerks, Cooper firearms etc, but not feasible to drive there.
Any input is appreciated.
Here is a post showing some RBros rifles in action.

Either choice would build you and excellent rifle!!!
Post by: mountainman on November 15, 2012, 08:09:02 AM
RBros does excellent work and is great to deal with. It may be a little further but Shawn Carlock W/Defensive Edge builds and excellent rifle as well and has the fastest turn around time of anyone I have ever used. Last build was less than 3 1/2 months. They are located just across the Wa. border in Rathdrum Id.
Either choice would build you and excellent rifle!!!
:yeah:Routinely shoot guns built by both! And they both stack em!

How far was the deer? :)
12ft on the first shot, swung on him moving. All I could see was his head and only hair in the scope. Swung on him like with a shotgun, looking over the top of the scope and pulled the trigger. Cut him with the bullet right over his right brow. Next shot was a 379 yards on the move. Dead right there! Any other questions? Still peddling PMR' for close to 1K? :chuckle:

12'.15'? Too bad you didnt drop him the first shot! Maybe a shotgun next time?? :chuckle:
Why? It's more fun a little further out. :chuckle: Besides, he ran uphill and 400 yards closer to my truck. Worked out rather well. :tup:

Lol!, Yeah, only a deer.... ;) lucky he didnt drop into a draw or worse yet, dissappear to never be found again >:( But everyone has a opinion on what a good shot is and one that should be passed up. Gladd it worked for you hammer and he wasnt left to suffer :) To many animals die a slow death every year due to sloppy shooting. I like to practice all summer on steel :chuckle: so I dont miss those shot, especially the close ones! ;) ;) :chuckle:

Mountainman, very nice rifle. I am curious as to the barrel wrap? Specific function or just cool aesthetics?
Two-fold. Weight reduction is a definate plus. More importantly, heat transfer. With the graphite the barrel will cool much quicker and not retain the heat which can cause groups to wander a bit. And it adds stiffness, rigidity to the barrel without the added weight of a heavier contour. :)

Could always build your own, or at least do some of the work yourself. I find it enjoyable to do as much of the work as I can. :dunno:
But that being said, I have no money(I'm a Pastor with two kids in college), RBros rifles look pretty sweet though.

Unfortunately, full builds are all I have time for anymore. Occasionally I can squeeze in a muzzle brake install or bedding, but for the most part, full builds and rebarrels take up the time. Eventually, I will get back to being able to do small jobs, but not for a little while. Will be some cool stuff coming out in 2013. I appreciate the input and am glad you guys like the rifles.

There are a few guys that have ill feelings towards me because they don't like others I am associated with. Honestly, I have never met Biggerhammer (Landon). He called me about work and my lead-times didn't work out with his time frame. Not sure about the other guys, have a idea and have fixed some of their work.:tup:
