There are a number of top flight custom riflemakers working today.

First: I would suggest that you NOT buy any wood until you have selected a gunmaker and you and the maker select the wood.

Second: Get a copy of “Custom Rifles in Black and White” by Steven Dodd Hughes and you will get a good idea of the different styles and names of people who do this type of work.

Third: Try to look at and handle as many custom rifles as possible at dealers, tradeshows and gunshows.

One question might be how much do you plan to spend on this project?
