Recommend a barrel and gunsmith please. UPDATE!

[Silverado]

I've decided that I'd like to build a project rifle. It will most likely be on a Model 70 action, and I'd like to make a 338-06.

Please recommend a barrel maker and gunsmith for this project.

Thanks.

EDIT: Thanks for the suggestions fellas. I haven't contacted a smith yet, but thought I'd update the criteria a little...

I notice that all of the custom barrel jobs I've seen are stainless... can a stainless barrel be given a deep lustrous blued finish, and if so, who can perform this work? Otherwise, I'd rather go with a standard cro-moly steel, blued.

I really want the rifle to be just right... and a stainless barrel on that one isn't it for me.

Thanks again.

Silverado,

We can build a rifle for you.

We have Heym (Vanadium or stainless) or Montana Rifleman (CrMo or stainless) barrel blanks in stock. We have had excellent results with both brands of barrels, however, if you prefer another make, we can get most other barrels in.

The Vanadium and Crmo barrels can be blued and we can also Gun-Kote a stainless barrel with "gun-metal blue".

Regards,
Barry
