Been looking at MNR and Parkwest. What other builders am I missing? Looking to keep it at 18k and under. TIA
 
What is your project and where are you located? Matt Roberts is awesome and may be able to get you taken care of in your price point. Stock work has gotten incredibly expensive over the last 5 plus years.

If by chance you want a .375 H&H. Matt Roberts has a beautiful Satterlee British styled rifle for 13-14K from memory. I love that gun and have thought about it off and on.

I've actually looked at that one too. I was thinking about a 416rem, but would probably get more use from a 375h&h.

You get a lot more for your money in the secondary market and Stuart Satterlee builds an awesome Mauser action and rifle. I can’t remember how thick the recoil pad is on that rifle, but remember length of pull was slightly over 14. If that gun is close to fitting you, some tweaks can be made. I’m not worried about resale value on a lot of my guns, but many here will tell you (accurately) resale will be much cleaner with a 375 H&H, than a 416 Remington.

If you want a rifle built to your specifications, I suggest finding somebody that you are either in close proximity to or are willing to travel to to make final decisions and be fitted.
 
Matt Roberts build nice rifles, is a gentleman and uses great components. Here is a pair of integral barrels (500J & 375Hh) designed for him to mate to a GMA “slim” action and GMA express.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
