In Central US, probably Gene Davis in Ohio. I don't have his address or phone no. Maybe someone else can provide those.

Butch Hongisto 573-468-3234 I have a couple of guns by him. He does a lot of rimfire work for benchrest. He is in Sullivan Mo.

Roger Brock 660-491-2415 I think Arkansas
Richard Gorham 918-231-7716 NE Oklahoma

These three in the mid west have excelent reputations.

Gene Davis 740-468-2232 is in the Ohio area I think and has quite a backlog of work.

Try Mike Ross in Michigan. He does very nice work, including indexing barrels.

You can contact Gene Davis at,740) 503-4486 or gdavis10@columbus.rr.com. Great guy and excellent builder. Loves 40X's but can build it all. He built the only gun so far to shoot a perfect 2500 on a PSL target,indoors)

You will have a long wait if you use Butch or Gene Davis,Roger Brock is fast and builds as good as anybody. Just check the equipment lists for the ARA matches.

What type of work do you want to get done? That might influence who would be the best recommendation. Let us know, please.

Brian Volker , in Iowa is a top bench rest rimfire guy.

Looking to get my 40X rimfire rebarreled..I`ve got the barrel,just need someone to check out the action and fit/chamber the barrel..

 

[SmokinJoe]

Sorry, I thought you were looking for a smith to work on an Anschutz. I'm afraid you're gonna find Gene Davis & Butch Hogisto pretty swamped, next on my list would be Brian Voelker & Richard Gorham, but you might be best off to try one of the other recommended guys for quicker service. Good luck, those 40X's are nice rifles.

I contacted Gene Davis, due to his workload he referred to Mark Penrod. Gene spoke highly of Mark.

If you have Mark Penrod's contact info I would appreciate it. Trying to decide what to do with a 40X.

Mark Penrod's phone number is 260-982-8385.
He has built several guns for me he does first class work.
He should be able to fix up your 40x
