I have a model 70 pre64 that I've been using for years it has never been a "tack driver", homever I would like for that to change. I would like to know of any gunsmiths that could be recommend. I live in Alabama, but will consider most anywhere. Thankyou.

Let me suggest you contact John Lewis at Carolina Precision Rifles in Jackson, SC.
Phone # (803) 827-2069

I second the CPR Recommendation. One of John's specialities is accurizing service, and he is not too far from your location in Auburn AL. War Damn Eagle!!!! (BSME, AU, 1972)

Kevin Jenkins at www.guntailor.com is just up the road from you in Murfreesboro Tennessee. Good fella. My smith.

Good huntin' and shootin',
RAB

John Ricks....I hunted in Alabama one year back when The Bear was still the coach and the place I hunted was just full of rabid 'Bama fans. As a multiple graduate of Penn State I was in trouble..it wasn't too long after "the" Sugar Bowl. The funniest thing I ever saw was what they called an "Auburn Chainsaw"... why don't you descibe it for the folks.

Wow, you got me, must of been after my time at Auburn.

I did meet the "Bear" once at a pre game practice when 'Bama came down to Auburn for a game. One of the Prof's I had was a good friend of the Bear, he and I walked over to the stadium for a visit. I asked the Bear if he ever lost a game: After a long stare at his guys on the practice field, the answer was "Nope, but I did run out of time once."

You need to remember I was around rabid 'Bama fans. I saw this bow saw in the barn but instead of having a blade it had a piece of chain link stretched across it. I ask what it was and they said "An Auburn chainsaw". I guess that's what passes for humor in Alabama. By the way, what are grits and who invented them?

I might be a little late for posting. I recommend Truman Wilson out of Delta, CO.970-874-3030. He is a benchrest shooter, wide range of experience, honest and fun to talk to. Truman's work is first class. sure-shot
