Precision rifle gunsmith in Florida? looking to rebarrel

[RemingtonAI]

Hey guys, I am in St.pete Florida and regularly shoot at Manatee Gun Club. I have a Remington 700 that still has its factory heavy contour SPS target barrel, and I am looking into having my action trued as well as a new match barrel installed. Any of you know of anyone that does this work in my area, that is used to working with the rem700? Thanks in advance for any recommendations! Jesse

You might give Brandan Bunker at Bunker Arms, in Ellenton a call and see if he can help you. I don't know what his turnaround time would be on a job like that. I will ask when I see him tomorrow PM when we will be putting a new barrel I just got from NSS on a Savage benchrest action. I hope to get out to the Manatee Gun Club in a couple of weeks to try it out.

Cole’s Gunshop in Clearwater has an extensive multi-person gunsmith and custom shop operation. They are local to you, do custom work on Remington, and should be more than able to help you. I have no affiliation, but have used their gunsmith services, purchased guns from them, and will use them again. Here’s a link to their custom page: http://colesgunshop.com/long-guns/target-rifles/custom-upgrades.html Good luck to you and hope to see you on the range at Wyoming Antelope or Manatee. Jim

Ive never meet Dana English , but I used to shot against George the mouthpiece and his English built Sako in 7RUM. Saw it shoot a less than 2 inch 3 shot group at 1000. Ive lost to that @#$%%^ in shoot offs twice to take home all the marbles. I now own a 7RUM. I would let Dana build me a rifle anytime, and Ive never even talked to him.

I met him once, seen a few very nice and good shooting rifles he built. He does bang up work on Remington's. Known of his good reputation for years.

I have a 7wsm built by Dana on a Stiller action. Its easily a .5 moa rifle.

Specializes in Remington 700's. They are just down the street from me and do great work. Look them up and facebook to see many examples of their work.

Not in Florida (Screven, GA), but Michael DeLoach/Nine Run Gun would be a solid choice.

Website is very basic, but his work is excellent.
He built a 6XC for me that shoots lights out.
Next project is a 30 Nosler

English has a good reputation and experience. Eric has that and his honest and upfront personality. He lives kind of "on the way" to Manatee and is easy to find on Saturdays after the Manatee shoots.

Just sent an email off to Eric at Bostromgunsmithing. I have seen and shot the 6 Dasher that Larry owns and that thing is a laser! Being that he frequently shoots at my favorite club (Manatee) its a no brainer for me. Thanks for the help guys. I feel very fortunate to live so close to such an amazing range and talented gunsmiths and shooters. Jesse

I forgot about Eric, he is a good choice.

Thanks for the kind words Larry. My phone number is : 941-724-1299 not 941-723-1299. Thanks. Eric

Yes he would and top notch with quick turnaround . My last two complete builds were 3 weeks door to door. Had to wait a month on one before he said send it but I provided all the parts.
