Recommend a Gun builder
« on: May 29, 2011, 04:23:36 AM »
I have been and will continue to shoot my 54 cal Hawken built by Jim Trueblood. It is a great piece and I do enjoy it. Due to some issues with my right eye, I am having to convert to lefthanded shooting and Jim refuses to build a lefthanded rifle.

I am looking for a Jim Bridger version of a Hawken, long length of pull, 58 or 62 caliber, and as close to traditional as possible. Which smiths out there would you recommend looking at? Thank you

If you are looking for a local smith, it might be good to know where you are located.
