Lone Peak Razor 28 Nosler

One of a few rifles Dean has just finished putting together for me,

As per usual Deans work is top notch and i am sure the customer will be very happy with their new rifle :cool:

The ADG brass i stock for the 28 Nosler will really make this rifle shine also.

Specs of the build are:

Lone Peak Razor Stainless action with nitrided bolt
Manners EH1 Elite Tac Scorched Earth Camo
Bartlein #3 1:8 twist Fluted finished at 26"
Triggertech Special Trigger
PTG BDL
Wyatt Extended Mag Box
Tresamax Brake (not shown)

Think new sako, double that and add a bit more for good measure ;-)

And in 3 years time it will be some shitty old custom with "old" custom parts and a buggered barrel that nobody wants to buy. Sako will still hold its value

Im cracking up at the sass hahaahah classsic

What are the two holes/inserts? on the left side of the stock for?

I like the idea of this.

Could never justify it over my Carbonlite at half the price and twice the resale.

carbonlights are around $5k new? most of the customs are between the $6-8k mark depending on parts and options chosen etc and most guys who have the custom rifles built normally do so as they want a specific caliber/cartridge that isn't factory available etc nice to have options :thumbsup:

The holes are inserts for flush cups so you can sling the rifle from the side

Oh dont get me.wrong, its a bloody wicked rifle.

And the 28 Nozzle Rocket is awesome, Id love to have one

Be interested to see how second hand prices on Carbonlites or any expensive factory rifle for that matter, plays out after a couple of years. I suspect it might not be that different to a custom build. Ie You’re likely lose 40-50% on either item. The risk with custom build is you start higher and often, as Camo wsm stated, the build is very specific and there for a more limited market. Having said that if you buy a quality action and look after it then it should out last your or my life time. Barrels are consumables - they have a limited life time and will need to be replaced. I was once given some wise advice - when you have an accurate action, NEVER sell it.

Carbonlites will depreciate just like all other guns. Sako will release the next big thing that will see the Carbonlites getting sold... normal evolution of rifle manufacturing...

I've only built one full custom rifle. Also a 28 Nosler.

In my opinion there was something quite special about the whole process from planning the build, researching and sourcing your own choice of components.

Choosing the Smith to do the machining and piece all the parts together and having input into the specs of the chambering etc

Seeing it all come together into a fine looking firearm that shoots as good as it looks.

Knowing that there is not one factory rifle part in it and that no one else has a rifle exactly the same is also something I enjoy about my custom rifle.

And those are the things I think about every time I take it out of the safe, long after forking out the folding stuff.
