I have a Ruger 77 RL tanger in .243 Win that I'm thinking of having rebored and chambered to 7-08. Does anyone have any recommendations for a smith that they would consider for the job. If so, could you please post or PM me with contact info? Thanks for any and all help. Tim Last edited by eaglemountainman; 07/10/20. My heart's in the mountains, my heart is not here.

I have not yet shot the rifle since getting it back so I don’t know how well we wound up but he was very good to deal with and prices seemed reasonable vs a new barrel. He made all the accommodations I asked for, refinished the metal, and turned it back to me inside of a month. Like I said we just need to shoot it and see how well we did.
