Suggested gunsmith for 6BR build?

[shuter]

Hi all, I'm fully infected by the 6BR virus, it seems, and simply must have a full-on rifle built. I'm looking for a combo varmint/long range BR gun. Not looking for a lightweight rife, by any means. Something a little lighter than a dedicated BR gun maybe, but moderately heavy.

I think I want:

Stiller Viper SS single shot action,any other suggestions?)
Kreiger stainless barrel,good choice or no?)
Stock - Fiberglass, McMillan, Master Class,thoughts?)

I'd also like input on a single smith that could put the whole thing together. While many COULD do it, who would you guys have do it for yourselves?

I'm looking for opinions, based on your experience, reputation of gunsmiths, products, etc.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

see ya

I have a number of Stiller's actions. All of them, except the Predator are drop ports. I'm really sold on that feature. However, If you ever think you'd like to change over to a longer cartridge than the 6BR, then I'd get the non-drop port. With the drop port you can't remove a spent cartridge from the side port and the longer cartridge would have to be removed by removing the bolt which is really easy on the Stiller actions.

Humm, I'm not sure that the drop port is offered in the SS Viper.

Although I do all of my own smithing, I would recommend Mike Bryant as a highly qualified accuracy smith with a reputation for integrity and honesty. They just don't get any better than Mike.

So far as barrels, the Kreiger is as good as any.... You couldn't go too far wrong with them. However, My personal preference is Shilen because I have very good luck with them being competitive.

If I were you, I'd call Mike Bryant for suggestions on stocks, barrels and other components. He's built many rifles like to one you are contemplating.

I had Mark King build a 6br for me and his work was flawless. He was real reasonable on his prices too. His contact info. is listed in the gunsmiths section on this site.

A friend who had just had a less than pleasing experience with another "name" smith on a previous project, had only good things to say about his experience with Clay Spencer. The work was done on schedule, to the highest standard, with excellent communication throughout.

Suggestions:

Kelby Stolle Panda instead of Stiller.

Bartlien instead of Kreiger cut barrel
Button rifled Pac-nor

Stock Master Class or Ian Robertson Composite.

Gunsmith:

Alan/Dan Warner WTC
or
Mark King

I haven't talked or conversed with Mr. King, but if you meet a nicer father son duo than Alan and Dan Warner...you might wanna wake-up.

RHINOUT!
