I have tried contacting him through a DM on here, but he has not answered. I agree with the custom pricing thing, but like I asked originally what is the "range" ? There has to be a base price you start with and then build from there. I was asking the guys on the site what they had seen on the range. I.e. I see the base price on a Savage 220 is about $600, but you could spend over $1000 for the upgraded version. Does he not sit down to the table for under $300, $200, $600??? I know add ons and custom cost more. I don't have a saddle yet (rch/sit drag), but will probably get one and I am weighing all options. It is not a matter of cheapest, but is he a Savage or a Holland and Holland?

Yea sorry Im not 100% sure but I do know the base price starts around $200ish give or take. Put it this way it’s cheaper to get a custom saddle made for you then it is to buy a mass manufactured phantom...

No sorries needed. I agree about custom being the way to go. I am just trying to figure things out when I can't get it directly from the man who actually making the saddles. I like the way they look and the glowing reviews.

I had tried to contact, no luck. I went with Aero Hunter. I have to stick with A1 customer service.

He is a small saddle maker. Service is good with both. But if you are booked til September like Mathew Tompkins is then you don’t need the business. He is a one man business building custom saddles. Aero hunter is much bigger and is a good company.

Im not bashing his business, I apologise if it came out that way. His custom saddles look awesome and I haven't heard a negative review on them. I'm all for the smaller business's to step up. That's a huge, bold commentment on his part. I hope the best for him and all his clients.
