I’ve been shooting competitive rifle for over thirty years, and building custom rifles for about as long. I’m a current or past member of Camillus Gun Club, LAR&R (Los Angeles Rifle and Pistol), Bald Eagles, and Veteran’s Rifle Team.

I grew up on an island off the coast of Maine and also Millbrook, NY, where my father was a biology teacher at Millbrook School and started a zoo. Millbrook School also had a good DCM club that was run by Al Boothby, who was an acquaintance of Al Freeland. Woodchucks were extremently prolific in the Millbrook area, providing fodder for hunting, and also food for the animals in my father’s zoo (now the Trevor Teaching Zoo). This is one of the few accredited zoos in the country.
Nearby in the town of Clinton Corners, NY lived a man named Mr Dewey, who was a famous gunsmith. I used to ride my bicycle over to his place in the eary 50′s to watch him work. Wayne Trimm, the painter and naturalist, was another early influence and I remember him telling my father about Clyde Hart who was building quality rifle barrels in Lafayette, NY.
Here is a link to the first rifle that I built for the US Palma Veteran’s Rifle Raffle in 2005.
In 2006 I built another one – here’s a link to the progress on that one.

Doan, Good looking website ! I’ll send it around to a couple of my Vermont hawkeyes. Hi to Sue and Clare! Regards, Doug
Doan, Its been my pleasure reading your site and learning about your career shooting and building rifles. I wonder if you also build 3 Position Free Rifle Stocks as well? Again I certainly enjoyed the information. Cheers!!!
Doan,
Love your website. Did you hear I won the CA Palma Championship? Beat Gary E. by one point. We both shot 150-15x’s at 800yds. (him Sat., me Sun.). I shot with Noma on Sunday, she shot a 150-15x and then I did. I guess I know who to come to when I need another new barrel. Your metal shaving and those Berger 150 vld’s are the shiite.
How about a travel up date— or did the ox team die
I am in the process of starting a gunsmith business, and was wondering what type of triggers you use for your rifles.
Thank you.
I am only learning but the beauty of the cstom built rifles is aluring.
I am interested in high powered fifle for competition shooting.
What would the price of one of your builds.
I wanted to touch base with you about possibly providing you with laminate blanks for your guns to be made out of. We can also bandsaw them out to a template that you provide. Thankyou for your time.
WOW Mr. Trevor builds beautiful stocks. Can you build one for any action ? I have a new Savage I use for F class and would love to have one of those gorgeous wood stocks for it. Thanks
