Bill is always busy and it is a bit of a drive, that doesn't mean I think he is blind or incapable of building a good gun. He has likely forgotten more about accuracy than most people know. Sometimes you don't word things very well Jeff.
I know we are friends but you did not answer the question TONY, what full blown benchgun has he built in the last decade, and I also notice you did not want to answer about the non-completion of work I mentioned,
Bill Leeper may be a nice guy and knows how to WRITE on the internet but NO_ONE I repeat NOONE has got him to build their full blown benchgun in the last decade,
so Tony name me one or two guns on the line used by shooters who travel, there are none. period, end of story
the problem is not the telling of the story so as not to offend anyone it is about telling the truth, he has not built a benchgun in a very long time and Mr. O and I were discussing last night his feeble attempt at bringing his winchester or remington that would not extract catridges the last time at Rosebud some 5 or 6 years ago, I wished I had a pic of that gun,
last time,
Bill has forgotton more than I will ever know,(big deal I know nothing about lateh work) but I know one thing, I know where to get a GREAT rifle built and it is not with Bill (and the OP was looking to get a good gun built or was he going to be satisfied with a OK rifle, if so PLEASE let him buy a used B Leeper gun that is being used by someone today at registered matches, there aint none around and i would not buy one and neither would you)
why is it so hard to just tell folks not to use someone anymore,
Tony I know you got lester to build your gun, and other barrels I thought, and no way were you going to get Bill to built it, just be honest, Bill does not build benchguns anymore, so why send someone new over to him,
to be BLUNT Tony nor anyone in Alberta who competes would not get a new gun built by Leeper, not a chance in he$$
I stand by my comments and saw him at the Kamloops gunshow last year and he said he does not want to build benchguns we are too picky
