I don't care where he is or how much he charges. I want to solve my feeding problems once and for all -- or scrap the rifle and start over! Several times the rifle has been declared "fixed" only to have it jam again -- last time when I was trying to follow-up on a cape buffalo I hit poorly with the first shot (lost the buff, btw, after three days on blood spoor). The rifle is an M-77, Mark II, RSM, rechambered from .375 to 404 Jeffery. Beautiful rifle, shoots great: too bad its a single shot! | ||

Dennis Olson in Plains, Montana. That man can make a rifle feed beer cans smoothly. | |||

I have seen many people recommend Mark Penrod for feeding problems, particuarly in the Winchester Model 70 (rather than Ruger). I have not used him myself. Good luck with your rifle. | |||

GAhtr: Mark Penrod did a magnificent job on my Ruger 416 Rigby. Mine was not a feeding problem but rather a bolt raceway one. Regardless, Mark's work is magnificent and I highly recommend him. If anybody can fix it he can. jorge USN (ret) DRSS Verney-Carron 450NE Cogswell & Harrison 375 Fl NE Sabatti Big Five 375 FL Magnum NE DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||

Another vote for Dennis Olson. A plus besides being able to make any rifle feed he enjoys working on Rugers, something that can't be said for some smiths. The last time I was there he had just finished converting a Ruger RSM to 585 Nyatti.(Sp?) It was beautiful and it fed like all rifles he works on, flawlessly. ****************************** "We do not exaggerate when we state positively that the remodelled Springfield is the best and most suitable "all 'round" rifle".......Seymour Griffin, GRIFFIN & HOWE, Inc. | |||

Dennis Olson did great work for me in the past. But he's been 3 years on a project for me and it's only half done, so there might be a bit of a wait... | |||

I've used Dennis Olson and he's about as honest as they come. I'd use him again. | |||

Penrod is awesome. Or scrap the rifle and order an Echol's Legend. You did say you didn't care about cost. Then you wouldn't have any worries. | |||

I don't know anything about Olson's work, but I trust these guys. I do know about Mark Penrod and he is not only a first class gunsmith of the highest order, but a great person too and I would HIGHLY recommend him for any job. Bob | |||
