Looking For Gunsmith (Dogtown Varmint)

[Dallboy04]

I have found a 22 PPC that is an awesome rifle. It has Dogtown Varmint stamped on the barrel. I'm trying to find the original gunsmith to ask him questions.

Y'all correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they are long gone. My 1st complete custom was a 22-250AI by them (if we're talking the same outfit). They were located in CA??

Its a sweet rifle. I'm just wondering the components what was used. Did you like your 22-250AI from them?

It originally came in pretty screwed up, sent it back with a letter itemizing all the problem areas. They fixed it & sent it back, all was good after that. Mine is a 22-250AI with Hall action, Hart barrel, Jewell trigger in McM HBR stock. I weighted it up for balance & ended up around 15#. It is a dream off the bags.

If you can post some pics, you might get some help identifying the components.

Yep, long gone, unfortunately. They were one of the first dedicated varmint / predator shooting entities. Sold lots of bullets, brass, and accessories. Also built dedicated varmint rifles. A buddy had one done ( also in .22-250 AI ) but unlike the other poster, his was sweet from the get-go. They were good to deal with. Still have one of their coffee mugs, somewhere.
