I'm trying to locate a smith currently who will get semi excited and do a job for me. So far most have told me they really aren't that interested.
I want a sako action turned into a mannlicher stocked rifle. I want a pretty good walnut stock - straight stock no monte carlo. A very dark oil finish with no gloss at all.
No sights front or rear, and a blind box - no mag or floorplate. A full matte blue finish on the barrel and receiver.
.308 in caliber.
Then I'm going to stick a 1.5-6x Swarovski on it and call it a day.
I'm a mannlicher nut but I really hate iron sights on scope rifles. I want something I can carry around, sit in a stand, and still look good.
After that gets done I'm going to look at getting a No. 1 Ruger in .280AI done with a maple stock and clean it up a bit.
Nathan give D&D gunsmiths in Troy, Mi. They should be able t to what you ant, and they do great work.
