Good #1 gunsmith?
« on: August 08, 2011, 07:12:21 PM »
I'd like to have my 270 RSI turned into a 338 federal RSI with the same contour as the original. Who would you recommend for this?
 
Thanks

I know of 3 good no.1 gunsmiths.
http://www.cprifles.com/rgr1.htm
http://www.dressels.com/
http://www.reedercustomguns.com/
I have had work by all three, really can't say any one is better than the other. All did good work. Reeders was a complete rifle "beast", Dressels was a rebarrel chambered in a wildcat/restock and cprifles has accurised 5.

I have never tried them, but here are three more that are supposed to do good work.
