In episode 254, we continue our Build Kit series by talking about the top tier option – a full custom Wolf Precision rifle, built turn-key and ready to shoot right out of the box. I dig into who a true full custom is really for, how it compares to our "assembled minus one" kits, and why it's the right choice for shooters who want world-class performance without having to turn a single wrench… at least not yet.

In episode 254, we continue our Build Kit series by talking about the top tier option – a full custom Wolf Precision rifle, built turn-key and ready to shoot right out of the box. I dig into who a true full custom is really for, how it compares to our "assembled minus one" kits, and why it's the right choice for shooters who want world-class performance without having to turn a single wrench… at least not yet.

From there we jump into a couple of jaw-dropping "drop-fit" chassis disasters that recently landed on the bench – including some very high-end stocks with terrible inlets. I walk through what went wrong, why the "just bolt it in and go" myth is so dangerous, and why proper bedding is still critical if you want a true ¼-MOA rifle. This all ties into our upcoming Prosumer Gunsmithing School, the Armory, and some free "Because You Ask" videos where we'll show these problem chassis and what to look for.

Finally, I share the details of our recent YouTube strike (yes, over talking about a gunsmithing vise…) and why we're preparing to move more and more of our content over to Rumble and Vimeo so we don't get erased overnight. I'll also touch on the Wolfpack membership, access to the Armory and range time, and give an update on our 2026 long-range shooting school dates and openings.
