So I have an early production “rifles Inc” .458wm
It is set up as what I’d consider a guide rifle…
Currently has an island rear sight, screw down, and I dislike the aesthetic…
I am going to be using Talley basses and QR setup. I was hoping to add a quarter rib rear sight that is soldered on…that’s not a “must” bet that is what I’d like.
I have some pictures of similar rifles that I’m hoping would better describe my thoughts.
Anyway I was hoping to find a good smith, better put, a local artisan that could do the work.
Anyone have any recommendations for good small shop smith that could take this on?
I’d like the barreled action cerakoted afterwards too but I can outsource that if need be.
Thanks much!

If Mike Cuypers at bijoucreekgunsmithing is still doing business i'd give him a call, iirc he's in Colo, had him build a quarter rib express sight along with barrel band sling swivel and wrap around front sight on my 98 Mauser 9.3x62mm, first rate work and he cerakotes too.
Good luck.
