I am 19 yrs old and yes I am new to shooting. most of my friends hunt deer and thought I was nuts buying a thousand doller rifle
My uncle and a few of his friends said it would be better to buy a custom rifle for my first one and they use this smith.
the gunsmith was Tom Nix of Campbell and Nix in Richland wash. His partner told me about you and some other boards.
They let me finish my own stock to save money or I woudn't have been able to buy the gun,although there stock maker John Perry
showed me how. I really feel better now about my rifle I am going to look for a good scope and I'll think about reloading.
Being a gril it is hard to know when someone is giving you good advise or trying to take advantage of your lack of experance.
I will listen more to my smith and less to my friends. Thank all of you again.
