40x benchrest gunsmith needed

I would use Mark Penrod in North Manchester Indiana
Excellent suggestion. A buddy of mine had Mark re-barrel his Myers action several years ago, same issue with non-Ross tapered barrel, you need the bushing to convert the original 1-1/16" down to 3/4". Mark did an excellent job and that rifle shot very good.

I wonder where the gang from the Remington Custom Shop at Dakota Arms ended up after all the changes at Remington? They built my last 40X Rifle and I was very impressed.

I bet Blake Gann knows about this kind of works. He's into rimfire.
Somewhere around Greenville NC i believe. I can get info if needed.
Also rimfire accuracy is Stiller's site those ARA guys know for sure.
DAN Killough owns ARA https://www.killoughshootingsports.com/
Sorry Jonny, you are a bit behind the times. Dan Killough has not owned Killough Shooting Sports for several years. Eley owns Killough Shooting Sports, as well as both sanctioning bodies.....ARA and PSL. Dan is still the head guy at Killough's, but is also under direction from Birmingham.....and I don't mean Alabama!

Well yeah on paper. He and dawn are still the ones. I know them both
 
+1 for Penrod and Voelker. I asked Gorham to work on my 40x a few years ago. He told me he no longer works on 40x because they take too much work to tune. I don’t know if he has changed his policies since then.

You might want to look at Myers 40X on Benchrest.com/classifieds
SORRY, THE ADD APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN REMOVED

Instead of making an insert would it not be better to contour a blank to look like the thinner barrel with a big chamber end to fit the 700 style threads? I my underdeveloped mind it seem like the extra set of threads would be a potential for bad fit???
