Need Custom Rifle Maker Recommendation
« on: April 21, 2008, 01:47:44 PM »
I'm interested in a custom built 338 or 375 in a bolt action. Anyone have any recommendations for custom shops?

I will use this gun for griz in Alaska.

We have at least two Sponsors who do custom rifles.

MGM and SSK Industries both built custom rifles.

I have had Jim Kobe in Bloomington MN build a number of custom guns for me, the last was a 375 Ruger that I intend to use in Africa but I think it would do outstanding work on Grizzlies also.  His phone number is 952.884.6031, I am away from home and do not have his email with me. 

Jim has always done outstanding work in a timely fashion at a good price.

If you mean Al I don't think he's even alive any more is he? He was making rifles for Jack O'Connor 40+ years ago.

Well how about that Al is still ticking after all. He was Jack O'Connor's favorite stock maker when I was a boy and I'm 63 now. No telling how old Al has to be but a bunch older than me for sure as he was a famous stock maker when I was a youth. I'm surprised he is still alive.

 Harvey King at HK Custom Guns is alive and well in Selma, Alabama. He re-chambered my Ruger #1 to 30-06 a.i. for me and did a great job.

Well you only said what chambering you want not what type or style or the budget but if you want a classically styled rifle like a Rigby then you might like to try here, but please be aware that the price is high:-

Ron does excellent work and is used to exporting to the US so that's not a problem but looking at his website I see a classic Rigby style rifle in 375 H&H would cost around $16,000 USD.
