Brown Precision rifles

Anyone have them build a rifle for you in the last 5 years or so? If so, would appreciate your feedback. I am considering sending them a lefty Win 70 for a Custom High Country Rifle build.

You may want to check out 24hourcampfire for m70 build info. I had an m70 built a little over a year ago and there was a lot more info over there for m70 stuff. I went with a bansner stock but the brown pounder was right up there in my decision. Rokslide is for your Tikka info

I sent my left hand Winchester 70 action to Brown Precision earlier this week. Mark will perform his magic and turn it into a Pro Hunter Elite rifle. It will end up being a 338 Win Mag with a 23 inch barrel and the rest of the goodies that come with the package he offers. Should make a heck of a rifle for Alaska. Turn around time was quoted at approximately 10 months.

I know this post is over 6 months old, but I thought I would put in my experience with brown precision as well.

Mark built me a 300 WSM on a Winchester M70 action (which I still consider one of the best hunting actions ever made). And in my opinion it is the perfect mountain rifle. I went with their pounder Kevlar stock, the model 70 action, and a number three contour barrel. With a Leupold VX-5 on top of it that weighs 20 oz, the entire rifle weighs 7 lb 10 oz.

It did take almost a year to finish.

Their Kevlar stock is a full length stock, that weighs between 16 to 18 oz when finished. I initially considered some of these carbon fiber aftermarket stocks (before talking with Mark), but they all weigh between 28 and 36 oz.

Brown precision started the composite stock craze with their fiberglass stocks back in the 60s (they still offer fiberglass stocks) and no one knows more about the composite stock market then Mark at Brown precision.

I think brown precision makes the most underappreciated rifles in the industry. And as you can tell from my response, I absolutely love mine .
