I have a 30-06 in remington 700 bdl (left hand)I would like to get it ackley improved. I have been told that it may even be possible to make it into a 300 mag. It does only have 22 inch barrel so it may not be worth it. Eventualy (when I can afford it) I will be buying a 338 ultra, and turning the 30-06 into a 25 caliber something (either 25-06 or a magnum version of same caliber)I have seen a few posts from residents in b.c and alberta. Any information about local gunsmiths that could do this work would be appreciated. Also what would be an estimate of what a fair price is.

Give Dennis Sorensen (may be Sorenson) a call. I think he's in the Mill Bay area. I haven't had occasion to have him do work but have heard good comments about him.

Give Mark Scholpp in B.C. a call. He makes barrels, and is a shooter, and may be able to steer you right.

Tell him Ric Carter in Montana said to call.

Also Martini and Hagn. This sites very own Bill Leeper can probably help you out as well. - Dan

Trevor, you won't do any better than Bill Leeper in Elko. He posts on this site. He's built 3 rifles for me, and I just ordered the barrel for the fourth that's being sent directly to him. Kind of sums up how I feel about his work.
