Looking for a gunsmith for work

[JamesnTN]

Hey guys I'm looking for names and recommendations for gunsmiths that specialize in long range benchrest builds. I haven't had a rifle built in years and don't have a clue whom to turn to on a new build. I know there are several great smiths that do short range builds just don't know of any who does the bigger stuff.

What I'm looking at building is another 6 Dasher switch barrel with a Bat "M" action with a McMillan HBR50 stock with a 1.450 dia barrel. So I'm looking for a proven gunsmith that builds winning rifles.

Thanks in advance.

If you're looking close to your neck of the woods, Dave Tooley comes to mind. You might call Bill Shehane also.

Greg Wahlstrom is great...quick turn around and he shoots long range as well.

Don't discount a short range builder. Quality work is quality work.

I know what you're saying, I won't say a short range smith can't do the work. I just feel a smith whom specializes in building long range BR rifles will go the extra mile to ensure all is as perfect as can be. I know all the well known smiths can chamber and fit a barrel, but I'm wanting extra detail on balancing the rifle and having it track true. Those details takes I feel more knowledge and expertise over a host range build. I could be all wrong on my thinking......

Mark King has built a lot of record breaking 1000 yard rifles. Matt

Thanks everyone for your input. I'll give Mark a call next week and see if he's interested in doing the work.
