Did you build it with him?

I really have to do that one day. What a great time it must be to be able to learn from a guy with his qualifications and reputation all while building your own rifle.

No I wasn't able to do the gunsmithing class but I did get to see him put together some of the rifle. The short amount of time I was there was a awesome time.
Here is the man, the myth, the legend behind the rifle.

Very Nice!

And one of my favorite cartridges too.

Easy to see Mr. Gradous is a small details/perfectionist, type. Notice not only the carpet on the bench top...but the edges are sewn over to finish it off.

Very nice rifle. It was nice meeting you!!

Robert said you guys had it shooting fantastic. I would advise you to try some 180 hybrids. You will not be sorry!! I love a 280 AI

It was nice meeting you to. I was wondering if that was your rifle in the other Gradous thread. I will give the 180 hybrids a try. That is a awesome 6.5X47 and please keep your thread updated with groups so we can all see the progress.
