There are rifles and then there are custom rifles. This is the story of a pile of parts that eventually, under the skilled hands of Matt from Sawtooth Rifles, turn themselves into a incredible rifle. Rifle #301...
I met up with Matt to work on a pretty rad project, a custom bolt action rifle for my oldest son, Jatta. We started out with a Custom Gunwerks GLR Action, a 20" 1:8 twist 6mm Stainless Steel barrel blank from Criterion Barrels, a CMC Flat Faced Remington 700 Trigger, the Side Chick Chassis by Q and a Cherry Bomb to top it all off. Here is the first part of Rifle 301's story...

Fun fact: Remington 700s are extruded by the mile, and cut to length.
This sir was riveting !!! I really enjoyed this video and cant wait for the next one/ones.
Thank you Rick.
Trump 2020.
Keep on Praying. !!!!!!
Great Video Thanks..
You Can't Buy 243 Ammo Now !!!!!!!!
243 win is good cartridge. since it is custom i would have a fast twist 7:1 barrel similar to the 6mmCM and load 243 win with similar high bc bullets like the Creedmoor. best of both worlds.
Watched a video that 243 out preformed raufus rounds on ar500. So 243 is definently not a moot round regardless if its the new hotness or not
Excellent video ! 👍
I love seeing all the detail work going in to make a percision firearm !
Thanks for sharing !
Glad to share it Jerry!
You said this build is for your son? Man, my dad sucks....
I clicked on the link expecting blah blah blah new gun blah blah blah, but after 30 seconds into the video I started getting this tingly feeling in my trigger finger and wallet.
What funny times are these, when chambering something for 243 would be considered “out on the fringe“.
It’s a great caliber. :)
Freaking impressive/awesome!! You bet I will be waiting for part 2. See u bud..
That is an AWESOME TALE! Your Son is a VERY Lucky Young MAN to have Such a Great DAD! That is a VERY COOL RIFLE!
WoW no wander custom guns are so expensive 😳 that’s true craftsmanship... one day I hope to have a custom gun built 🇺🇸
There is a reason for the price with professional gunsmiths... :)
DAMN-right everybody AND their brother makes a better rifle than Remington. With so much to choose from why would anyone buy from the big green slug?
#truth
That is the perfect gun for a cranky old stubfart too! Good work, boys!!!
Haha. :)
I think 243 was a great choice considering your son. .260 Rem would have been cool too if he could handle a bit more recoil.
I’m excited about the .243 :)
What ammo are you planning on using? Some HSM Low Recoil? Hornady Subsonic?
Special stuff... :)
Awesome video series mate!
Thanks Dan!
the rifle is perfect and the video/building process was awesome. Your boy is so lucky to receive it. I bet he’s just stoked.
Super stoked. :)
Cute side chick chassis? 4:53
Awsome I’m excited to see velocitysbout of that short of a barrel in 243
Me too, I’m excited to work with Unknown Munitions.
Fuckin-a man awesome 👌
Lucky son. Are you looking for another one to adopt? Maybe one a little older like, say ,38?
At capacity. :)
That’s some serious time and work. Such great work
#craftsman
I Love It! I REALLY want a #FIX rifle from *Q*! It's my "Dream/Grail" precision platform!🔥😍💯🤙🏼💪🏼☝🏼🇺🇲
Keep an eye out on the used market for one! I found one at a local shop that I picked up for a great price and have loved it so far!
Love the process.
I love these gunsmith videos, great stuff
Thanks Nick.
Such an awesome video! 👍👍
Thanks!
Very cool video. I believe a true gunsmith is a machinist and this guy seems like it. Knew a fantastic gunsmith here in northern Idaho but he passed away, rest his soul.
Wait till part 2.... :)
Yeah part 2 was great, showed even more of his talent as a smith. Been keeping my eyes open on someone local, but if I need to go out of state I will.
I want one
Amazing video🤘🏻. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks!
So cool !
I got all excited thinking this was the fix!
Very cool if younger shooters rediscover 243.
It’s a great caliber. :)
@@KitBadger I had a bolt rifle many years ago that did a ragged one hole group with 95g Nosler ballistic tip handloads. Kept that as my regular load for a couple decades. I've cut back on calibers since then and the 243 was one of the last I decided to let go. I'm sticking with 3 common rifle calibers: 556, 762x39, 308. If I was hunting very large game like moose or elk, I'd probably have a 300 win mag.
Nothing wrong with 243 nothing at all just because all these new chambering’s are being released doesn’t mean that the older ones are not good enough anymore. I also totally understand and agree with the major point you made that the Ammo can be found anywhere in the United States 🇺🇸. Very cool rifle Kit Badger I am sure your Son will be extremely happy with it.
Ironically, it is the only caliber on shelves when people panic buy.
Kit Badger I was wondering who ended up winning that 1/12 twist Brownell’s carbine AR15
Damn!! What a cool adventure ...... very interesting.... loved it, thanks.....
Thanks for watching.
Love these shop videos. Looks like you found the right rifle builder for this project. I'm guessing that lathe didn't come from Harbor Freight?
Hahaha. No, it did not. :)
What a fantastic idea and gathering of parts and resources. A great build u have sir
It’s a fun build. :)
@@KitBadger heirloom quality brother...
Love to watch some quality gun work!
Bummed you didn't go 6 creed. It's the only ammo you can find on shelves right now.
Hope you Chrono some rounds, I like the 6mm a lot,
I will. :)
Wot I thought this was a surfboard review and lifestyle channel lol.
Beautiful rifle. I love the .243 Winchester
lol are you a federally funded hit man? You look and sound like every hit man in every movie. 243 is awesome
🙌 Precision!
The HAND DRILL part made me *gulp* and choke on my drink.....I'm sure it will make sense later as Ivan said so. Rifle #301 looks amazing.
Haha, right?! But it made sense in the end. :)
What a process! I never knew how involved fitting a barrel was; must be so satisfying to see your meticulous calculations pay off in your groups. Cool series!
It is mind blowing to see. :)
Good stuff Ivan!
Thanks buddy.
Wow! What a craftsman!
Seriously....
I would have purchased a pre-fit action like a Terminus or Curtis action and screwed a pre-fit barrel in there and saved a LOT of time and MONEY and when my son got older and wanted to move up to let say a .308 or if he shot the barrel out you could replace it in less than five minutes. Don't get me wrong I enjoy watching things being made, I just think pre-fit actions is the future of all rifles.
I would have done a lot of things with your time and money as well John. :) There is a lot to be said for profit actions, but it’s not what I wanted. Thanks for watching!
Really good video
Thank you.
I NEED PART 2 NOW!
sweet dude looking great. thanks!!!
OH NICE! Is this the same chassis you put that R700 action you got in a pawn shop?
Also, truest words never been spoken: everybody else makes a better R700 action than Remington lol.
Yes and yes. :)
We should rename this series to....How It’s Made....Credit Card Debt...haha. Awesome video man! Semper Funny
Hahaha. :)
Wow and I thought I was spoiled at 13 when I got my first Remington 700 chambered in 243!
My dad and my big brother took me to the local gun store bought a Remington 700 action chambered in 243 off the rack.
The rifle had glossy wood, glossy blue finish, and a nice glossy Leupold 3X9 scope to go on top!
I happily carried that rifle for the next two years before I actually bagged my first Whitetail buck.
Around five or six years later I pass that same rifle down to my nephew who has since passed that rifle onto his son who hunts with it to this day.
I upgraded to a Steyr scout chambered in 308.
If my working class father, who worked his ass off had had time or the money to sit down and build me a custom bolt action rifle on a Q side chick Chassis I would’ve probably died of happiness on the spot!
Very well done sir!
You are hereby crowned father of the year.
BTW that was a no gun Smith, that was a master craftsman!
I mean holy cow, is there a single part of this rifle build that this man is not intimately familiar with?
What a shooting iron!
That is a great story, thank you for sharing. Passing down Guns is wonderful.
Immensely interesting. Can't wait for part 2.
I Love Q man. I just bought a thunder chicken yesterday to go on my sugar weasel. I'm dying that I couldn't walk out with it. Oh well the wolfman works fine on the 300blk for now!!! While I was in the shop I was drooling over a fix when I was doing my paperwork. I want it so bad. Thanks for all the content, and thanks for making me want to spend more money. You and tim from AA have gave me the bug for every kevin makes. Thanks again!!
Right on man, thanks for watching!
what a great little rifle. it will be a shooter for sure. love the 243. the only thing is with the short neck and shoulder angle they tend to eat the leade and lose accuracy fairly early. to negate that all you need to do is keep the barrel cool by shooting five or less round strings and give it a couple of minutes between them. a 243 can lose it’s accuracy at 700 rounds or 4000 rounds depending on how it’s treated.
We’ll see how long the barrel lasts. It may come on the Coast to Coast tour. :)
Absolutely awesome!
Man, talk about meticulous. I'm really digging this build so far. Do you recall the chassis weight and over all weight of the completed gun?
Part 2. :)
Slick build. That new PRS hotness 6mm CM is pretty close to the old .243.
Yep, pretty close. :)
I work in production machining and what guys like this do, one-off custom jobs, is something else entirely. Much respect.
#artisans
Really enjoyed the video. Where are you located that you have so many good backgrounds? Montana?
Idaho.
Damn this was awesome. So interesting to see all that
Best gun videos on the TH-cam. These behind the scenes vids at manufacturers are my favorite.
Thanks!
I saw a cool uberleben sticker in the background. Those are some good dudes there. They gave me and my local SAR group a awesome donation.
That’s awesome.
The 243 is a great workhorse cartridge, it will shoot tiny groups and bring home the bacon !!!
Agreed Thomas, I think it’s underrated these days.
That is equivalent to watching your first son being born, Awesome!
Haha, right?! :)
Wow, that was a super interesting look at what goes in to building a rifle like this. This is probably my favorite video that you've done this year.
Thanks man, one of my favorites too. :)
Yeah that's kind of like putting Sears roadhandler tires on a Porsche... what is the side chick $1,100vs a $350 r700
Nothing wrong with 243 or 260
Capable rounds. :)
Yes!!! This is the content I’ve been waiting for!! I can watch these build everyday!!! Need to step up my dad game!! Great vid Ivan!
Thanks man!
all of us should have these skills...
Looking forward to this series!
I live in Salt Lake City Utah I'm just curious as to what the cost was for the total rifle build? I also have the Arken EP4 4-16X50 With a F3rmachine one piece scope mount
👊😎🇺🇸
Me too....my thought is Not Very.....cheap.
Haha, there is nothing “cheap” about it. :) I actually haven’t totaled it yet.
@@KitBadger Nope, and it's badass, so are you man, thanks for sharing your gear and your insight.
Big fan of the 243 Winchester! It’s what I leaned to hunt with.
Super capable. :)
Good build. I love that you put a 'vintage' cartridge in a space age rifle.
Right?! :)
Can’t wait for pt. 2
Always good to see impeccable craftsmanship and attention to the smallest details. Looking forward to the next chapter in this series. I really hope you tell us how much everything costs in a breakdown.
I’ll work on putting a cost list together.
Kit Badger sweet, seems like it should cost over 10k for all the parts and custom work..so I’m curious go sho🧐🤔
I love these series. So interesting to watch the entire process of how a barrel is made.
I love the chambering process!
Would love to see you do a series of good “cheap” 308 hunting rifles
Ruger American, Savage Axis. :)
Kit Badger well then lol okay
Cool flex I suppose, that's all this video is though...
Aside from showing what goes into a custom rifle... ...ya, I guess.
This such an eye opening video. Thank you for sharing!
No problem, thanks for watching Steve.
That is a great project. Love the new rifle.
Thanks Craig.
Very interesting love your contents
Thanks man.
I had no clue how much went into a high end precision rifle. This was so damn cool
Right?! So much work....
It’s always really cool to see a master work at their chosen craft.
#truth
This is an awesome vid, I cant wait for the next one
Thanks Logan.
Amazing
Looking forward to part 2! Rifle looks great and I’m excited to see how it performs.
Lol 😂
That was the most bubba gun smithing ive seen......it case it need to he said i was kidding lol
Very interesting, Thank you
Glad to share it.
After all that it shoots 2.5 moa.
Are you looking for attention, I’ll bite. Do you need a hug? Your dog just die?
I love everything about this.
It was a rad experience. :)
Love when thers UK legal stuff
Freedom is nice. :)
Love the series already! Keep it up!
Thanks Drew!
I've watched tons of videos that go, look at this cool rifle I bought let's shoot it!
dude soooo much going on I've always wondered about and gunsmiths will take a lot of it for granted, that someone building their own gun with them will find cool. love seeing the two worlds overlap.
Thanks man, this has been a fun series.
Fantastic video!
Thanks!
Awesome as always!
Thanks Joe!
Pick A high velocity round and cut the barrel down??? Curious what .243 loses in a 16 inch barrel versus A 20? I don't recall you ever saying you were a handloader allowing you optimize the load to A shorter barrel?
Probably not enough to matter. :) This isn’t made for PRS.
@@KitBadger Eek out more energy to dump into whatever animal you are shooting and more range for A low mass projectile. I'm not A hunter but if I have need to shoot something I'd prefer be dead ASAP.
How hard is that chassis to acquire?
