I have a Grumman jacket and a Kifaru LPP. They each fill a different niche which is why I have kept them both. I think they are both pretty warm. If I wasn't worried about weight or packability, I would choose the Kifaru. It is heavier and bulkier than the Grumman but more durable. The Grumman...
Build what you want. There's too many stories floating around the web of high end factory rifles not shooting to expectations. Some with poor customer service after the sale. A reputable gunsmith will build you a rifle that shoots to your expectations and will cover any defects in craftsmanship...

Brake cleaner to degrease. I use Wiha or Snap-On torque indicators to tighten fasteners.
Torque rings to rail using manufacturer torque spec. I don't add any loctite or other unless specified by the manufacturer. While in a comfortable prone position I line the reticle plumb using a large silo...
The two podcasts aren't even close. Yes, they have the same guest, but the topics weren't the same. The Kifaru podcast was an attempt to let BHA explain who they are and why hunters and anglers should support them. This also was before Busse wrote his book. (I think BHA did a poor job) The SO...
