Best in the West Rifle

Leeper said:
The "Best in the West" rifles are rifles touted as longrange hunting rifles and are made up by an outfit in Montana. They have a weekly TV program on which they demonstrate by making perfect one shot kills at long range. I'm sure they don't edit out misses or wounding shots!
The rifles are a pretty common Remington action, glass stock, big scope, sort of an outfit. I think the pricing is pretty extreme but on the other hand, they are finding a market. As has been pointed out, you can get more gun for less quite easily.
By the way, I don't care for the whole long range big game shooting concept. I favor the "spot and stalk" method over the " dial 'er up and let 'er rip" method of hunting. Regards, Bill

I dunno, it doesn't sound to bad to me. Stiller action, Bartein Barrel, Jewel trigger, McMillan Stock, Huskemaw Scope, assembled, dialed in ready to hunt.

The components are top rate. They are all Stiller Actions, and the set-ups are guaranteed. People pay that much for a Jarrett, why not a similar quality rifle, with a identical guarantee.
Though I have a rifle that shoots equally as well, and I spent less than half that.......
 
You have not upset my entire being and I do not blame you for expecting what you have read to be correct. Not a reflection on you but the guy that did the review. Where did you see the review?

Well I do not now for a fact, just what I read. Sorry to upset your entire being. There is video of him handling and shooting the rifle, I have no reason to doubt him.

I am using my powers of deduction and the conclusion is that a Robertson Composite stock may adorn the BOTW rifle. These powers have been know to fail, but, you know, I`m just gonna throw that out there.
By the way Ian, I love that Stiller. See the posting I have for my little 6.5x47 Lapua....(Sorry, I`ll look at a Robertson stock next time, don`t hit me please, please, please, please....:slap::slap::slap::slap::slap:)

Interesting opinions. At first glance it looks like these guys are really raking in the bucks on a gun that anybody could slap together. They are made with quality parts, barreled by one guy. Scope is installed and they are test fired and shipped as a very complete setup. I have seen hunting guns in Canada that have been built and sold for comparable $ with not nearly as good ingredients. If you have the money and not the time it is a good way to go. And they do shoot bloody well!

People with a huge amount of money will easily pay 6K for something that is reasonable. If a person is raking in 1-2K a day why would they spend a month to do research to save 2K?
 
I considered ordering there package as I don't wan't to shoot game at 1000 yards I just liked the rifle and features. $6000 is alot of money but you get a fair bit

You get a Robertson stock
Stiller Predator Action
Match grade barrel
Huskamaw scope
mounts
two turrets
100 rounds of ammo (iam assuming high quality)
jewel trigger
ceracoated finish on metal work
true Data for your rifle out to 1000
premium wheeled transport case
steel bottom metal

While still overpriced I think it's not that bad. I decided to go a different route and go with a bench rife in 6.5x47 to punch paper and I have 1500 into it already with no optics mounts or barrel yet just a pile of parts so It can add up quickly.

I did want to purchase there rifle stock for a hunting rifle as I like the shape and features and to find out it's Canadian made and availiable just made my day :)
 
I know someone who has one on the custom action and it seems like a real solid rig. Price out all the components including scope and then get a price for someone to build it and the price seems right. All the components are top drawer.
