I need a good smith to rebuild a rifle for me near MN

I have a 30-06 that I want rebarreled, restocked etc. Basically rebuilt. I live in MN and would like to find someone close.

Thanks

There may be several but I personally recommend Jim Kobe of Bloomington. Excellent work and he's reliable

PM him or send email....he's listed in the member list and posts here regularly.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have contacted Jim and I do believe we are on our way to refurbishing what has been an outstanding rifle for me.
