Northwest Action Works -- Rough Rider
Over the winter I had the opportunity to spend a little bit of time with a Rough Rider Rifle from nwaw-1 This is a entry level custom rifle.
The Rough Rider has base price of $2750 and is spec'd out on their site with the following details.
Rough Rider $2750
People are always looking for a custom rifle builder as most of the ones talked about on SH are backlogged at least 9 months, some even more. So this is a great way to get a custom rifle without all the wait from a new company.
Mason from Northwest sent over a custom 308 in a Manners stock and equipped it withe Vortex scope so it was ready to go out of the box. All I had to do was shoot it which, during the winter was a great. I used a variety of ammo, not settling on just one type, I grouped with several different types over the course of my visit with the rifle.
From Federal Gold Medal Match to even trying out some Fiocchi the rifles gave me excellent results.
The indoor range made it easy to focus on the basics, and get see how the rifle would group.
Their services are more than reasonable and they have several models and options to choose from. Everything from basic barreled actions to full build.

From dedicated hunting rigs to custom builds in AI Chassis, its definitely an option to look into too.
They do only have a few calibers listed, however I think they hit the highlights so be sure to ask if you dont see something you are looking for listed.
Cartridge Options: 22-250, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 x 284 Norma, 264 Win Mag, 7 WSM, 7mm Rem Mag, 308 Win, 300 RUM, 338 Lapua Mag, 338 Edge.
As I said, people are always asking about options, and with the recent rush of orders hitting the big named guys, it's always nice to find a small business willing to support the tactical community with a reasonably priced custom build.
Here is a video they did of their rifle shooting at distance.
