Friend of a friend wants to build a nice 7-08 hunting rifle. Would appreciate recommendations for a good builder. Thanks in advance
 
What is he looking to have done? He may be better off just getting the barrel fit and chambered by a smith. Then order a McMillan w/ pillars to fit that barreled action. Put the trigger of choice in and shoot it. If that’s all he needs I know of several smiths that could have a barrel done up in a couple days.
 
I recently had a 7mm08 put together by Jon Beanland. I am very happy with the rifle. I supplied the parts, if that matters.
 
Melvin Forbes of New Ultra Light Arms is the father of the ultra light rifle. He started building them in the 80's. He's in West Virginia. If you can get him to build you a rifle it's one you'll never forget.
