Would love to have some recomendation from this learned body on who to use. Located in Houston, TX, don't mind shipping to anywhere. Probably use a 24" #2 Contour PAC-NOR.

TIA

It would be hard to beat David Christman 216 Rundall Loop Rd. Delhi, La. 71232. He can get the metal work out in a real quick time if he has the components and is a gentleman to deal with. He is a member of the American Custom Gunmakers Guild and is very reasonable. Butch

Depends on what level of finish you are looking for. I used Norman Myers near Atlanta for my VZ24 Mauser based custom in 275 Rigby. Norman does very good work at a very reasonable price. He trued the action and lugs, installed a Douglas barrel, engine turned the bolt, finished all the metal work in KG Gunkote, bedded and installed a B&C composite stock for an incredibly good price. His web site is http://www.heritagecustomarms.com/

Mr. Browningguy, I am confused about your post. Are you saying Mr. Myers is better and more expensive or is David the more expensive and so on? Butch

Ned,
i sent you a PM on this

Butch,
he's saying Norman does a good job at a good price.

Tip Burns, on Canyon Lake. Excellent FAST work. Loves the 338/06. 830-935-3338. Give him a call, He is a good guy, tell him Greenlee reffered you. On second thought, don't, my reputation can only take so much abuse!

Thanks guys, forgot about Tip, he did some work for me when he lived in Houston.

As Jeffe said, good job at a good (inexpensive) price, I don't know of anyone that does work as reasonably as Norman. I just haven't used him for a real high quality blueing job, he's currently doing the inletting on a Mauser in 7x64 that Jeffe turned the blank for.

I have seen some of Normans rifles & they look very good. He has done some trigger work for me that I am very pleased with. I am going to use him to build my 338-06.
