Reamer rentals

I am building a 300wm and am going to rent a reamer instead of buying one. I'm would prefer to rent a match reamer. I'm planning on shooting the 230gr Berger's loaded to cip length. Can anyone recommend a company with decent reamers.
 
I alway use 4-DProducts. They have match reamers in a variety of calibers but have not checked for yours.
www.4-dproducts.com
Reamer and gauges for about $25 for a 7 day use period.
 
+1 on 4D, my smith has used them on a couple of builds of mine and says they are good and sharp.
 
++ for 4D rentals. I just did custom .300Win mag for client. I purchased a Tac Match reamer from PT&G. As the customer wanted to use the 210 + Bergers I rented a .30cal throater from them to lengthen throat. I use them frequently for non-custom jobs. Great to work with and never had an issue.
 
With the "do-it-yourself" thing, that's going around, rented reamers scare me. The only time I rented one (from 4D) the pilot was egg shaped and wouldn't rotate as it should. I had pilots of the proper size so I could continue without much interruption. How close can they be "inspecting" these tools, when they're returned after rental? My policy, if it's not a reamer I'd care to own the customer needs to supply it. Let the customer rent or buy the tool.
