Frequently Asked Questions

1.What is the perfect caliber? How do I choose the right caliber for me?

There is no one answer to this question. When you come to me to design you a gun, rifle or pistol there are a few questions I will ask you to help you determine the best cartridge for you.

a)Who is the gun for? – This helps me determine the size and weight of the gun, as well as the amount of recoil the user can handle. A different cartridge will be best for a petite woman, a large or tall man and a child who is just learning to shoot.

b)For what purpose will the gun be used?- This question helps to decide between a cartridge that is good for target shooting, and one that is best to bring down large game. There are also calibers that will give you good performance at both.

c)Where will the gun be used?- Differences in terrain, temperature and prevalent winds will effect the type of cartridge you choose. The best caliber for a gun range on the gulf coast will be different than one chosen for an elk hunt in the Canadian wilderness.

d)Are there any other specific considerations for this gun?- Do you need the capability to make a 1000 yard shot? Will you need a certain amount of energy at the muzzle, or velocity? Are there any modifications that need to be made for personal preference or adaptive purposes? These are all additional considerations you may need to include when you are thinking about a new gun. When you are choosing a new cartridge or caliber I will walk you through this process to assure you that your gun will do the job you ask it to each and every time you squeeze the trigger.

 

2.What is the best action for me?

The choice of action relies heavily upon the choice of caliber and cartridge. I will also help you to consider your personal preferencesand needs to make this decision. Whether handgun or rifle, we will find the best combination possible for you.

 

3.Can you help me find a specific gun that I am looking for?
