Recommend a top *traditional?* gunsmith (Bluing/walnut, etc)

The ACGG is much better in Dallas. A lot more foot traffic and 95% of them are well heeled. You need to show up.

I'm sure it's great, always was. Reno is only an hour and half for me and is an easy day trip for nothing more than fuel and dinner. But yes I do need to make it to Dallas one of these days..

Jim Kobe is an artist with Model 70's. He built me a .458 Lott on an old .375 Model 70 and he is my first choice for wood stocked rifles.

I was prepared for somebody to say what a nice Ruger#1. It ain't a Ruger.

What is that Butch?

If you had a fine, walnut stocked, pretty blued pre64 M70 rifle that you wanted to have some work done, really good work…let’s say bed the stock, re-crown, etc. Who would be your guy? How about if you wanted the action trued also? Same guy?

Thanks,

I would have anything done to model 70 pre 64 . Anything done will decease the value.

It is a Hyper Single. Sam Lair of Jenks, Ok. made a run of them several years ago. I was lucky enough to trade for this one. It is in 257 Roberts. This one is serial# 002. I still have a few brochures. This particular rifle was built for Charlie Williams. Charlie designed the Shilen trigger and the Benchmaster action. I traded a new Sako PPC single shot in 6PPC for it. I had Jim Kobe restock it in French Walnut that I bought from Tom Turpin. It originally was stocked in Myrtle Wood.
