Remington 700 actions recommended smiths

[gamc]

Gentlemen I have 3 Remington 700 shot actions I need trued/blueprinted.
Before we go any further let me ask please do not respond with the merits of custom action both engineering wise and cost effectiveness of same.
I have appx.40 years of rifle shooting under my belt ranging from Mil professional, competition and recreational. I am well versed in the above option and don't disagree. I have definitive reasons for using these actions with project builds I am doing.

What I am looking for is lessor " known smiths that do top shelf work on 700's that true,time the action.if needed ,install bolt knobs and enlarge scope base threads to 8-40 in 60 days give or take 60- 90 days per action whether it be one at a time or gang work on all.
If turn around is in those parameters with competitive pricing I will furnish reamers and new barrels for fitting.
Guys I am trying to tap into the vast knowledge pool networking reach of this forum.
I will start off with a guy referenced by Hart barrels, Diamond T rifle shop in Colorado.

Give Chad a call. Top quality work. You’ll have to check with him on ETA and price.

Something you can do in the mean time, send bolts out to have primary extraction timed and bolt handle welded by Accu-Tig.

Good point

Building M40 clones?

I’d say LRI too. Their turn around times vary but give them a call and ask. They are the best at providing status updates too.

Sounds like it, doesn't it. I guess I prefer 700s. I have a couple Gre Tan trued that are really nice. If I were to buy a custom it would be a Borden.

Why not our own at Wheeler Accuracy. Not sure what his work load is like but he is certainly qualified to do a first rate job.

I believe the process of squaring things up takes a little off the back of the bolt lugs and off the action abutment so the bolt handle would have to be repositioned to restore primary extraction.

Not M40's but USMC style guns that I saw or used.

Give Mark Pharr at Tumbleweeds a call. His work is impeccable & his prices fair.

Also based on a recommendation by Hart, I had a barrel re-contoured, chambered & fitted by Diamond T. His work was excellent & done in about 5 weeks. Shawn was easy to deal with - located in IDAHO.
