I know but can't remember some of the gunsmiths here on the board. Looking to have a 6x45 built for a coyote gun on a 700 action. Any suggestions- thanks in advance John

PacNor did mine on a Rem 600 about 15 yrs ago it is a tack driver. I used it for coyotes for a number of years, 55gr Blitz kings and 55gr NBTs, now I'm shooting 58gr V-max and 55gr NBT Lead Frees. Now most of my coyote hunting is done with a 22-204(222 Rem Mag Improved) and a 6mm-204(6x47 Rem Improved) and I save the 6x45 for matches.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

I used Ryan at Diablo Customs for a 6mm CM and he did an outstanding job. He posts here occasionally.

I know. Ryan built a 22-250. Took a little longer than planned, but no complaints other than that.

Jon Beanland down in Oklahoma is a hell of a good riflesmith. He should be able to twist up an excellent 6x47 for you...

I used Ryan at Diablo Customs for a 6mm CM and he did an outstanding job. He posts here occasionally. Just curious when he did this for you? Had him do a 6CM rebarrel end of last summer. Took about 6 weeks and had some barrel/stock issues and it sent back. He sold barrel and was ordering me the barrel I had originally wanted. Worked out the details and was going to get him to bed the rifle. Said it would take about 8-10 weeks. This was in November. He will not respond to PMs, email, answer the phone, or respond to voicemails. Hell, I even sent him a letter a month ago asking him to call me. No response yet. I understand he could be busy so every 4-6 weeks I would send him a PM or email. Stopped responding back in the spring. Up to that point it was allways the barrel was to be in anyday. At first everything was fine. Prompt responses to PMs. Even talked on the phone when I sent the rifle back. Now nothing. Sorry for the rant been needing to get this off my chest for awhile. Just don't know what else to do.

John,
If you are looking for a custom gun, the best here in the Rogue Valley would be Kevin Wyatt...
but he does custom guns now, not just general gunsmithing work...
Tom Hart her locally does some good work also...
Did you ever talk with Mark Skaggs out there in the Applegate?
He would install A Pac Nor Barrel if you ordered one.

Jared Joplin at American Prec. Arms also builds a nice rifle. Hopefully, no bad reviews like Diablo.

A # 3 brux 6mm 1-8 twist. Cerracoted black or dark gray. Going into a Mcmillian stock Black/Gray marble. Should finish out at 24". Pretty much put together from stuff I bought here on the fire. Just got the NXS 2.5 x 10 for the optics. Going to be a coyote gun for calling. I need to stay away from the classifieds!! John

Just pulled my LondRiflsInc. 6x45 out of the box today. Damn thing looks like a perfect work of art but cannot yet speak to how it shoots. 8 Twist Proof 22" Sendero. Thought I'd try something different when Stocky had a Christmas Special on Proof Barrels and the CAT700 stocks from AG composites. Have to open up the lug recess tonight and will weight things out.

I'm planning a 6x45 build soon, that'll fill the same role, calling rifle/med-long range steel puncher. What bullets are yall planning on using and how much free bore do you go with?
