I know the smith that does his work and I think he still does. He is better than good. Addition: He-J.B.-also refuses to believe a Nula can shoot consistently and accurately because they are full length bedded. FWIW Last edited by battue; 11/13/12. laissez les bons temps rouler

Dave Bruno does 99% of all the barrel/chambering work for AccuFlite - he is very good at what he does!! PM me & I can get you his contact information.

Has made more than a few top flight BR rifles and is better than good himself on the trigger. You don't have to worry about the "secret" smith if Dave is doing the work.

J.B. is also big on Walther barrels with a front diameter that "bells" out the last inch or so. Addition: Unless he is BSing me, J.B. does extensive load workup before a rifle leaves his shop. Sometimes he will have group after group with different loads until he gets it right. His rifles usually wear a big high end Euro. I don't think they balance that well, but he thinks I'm nuts for using little Leupolds. Last edited by battue; 11/14/12. laissez les bons temps rouler

He does love his Walther barrels with their reverse taper - he uses nothing but Walther on his builds. He does like the Euro scopes especially the Swarovski brand, but he does work with other brands also. He runs a very good shop - his prices are a little high, but when you leave, you'll be happy with wat you got. He does do load development on his rifles as well as break them in - he provides test tragets with his rifles. His rifles will shoot & JB is no slouch behind the trigger himself!! *Dave Bruno is an EXCELLENT gunsmith - his chamber work is highly regarded! Last edited by 300MAG; 11/15/12.

The first they priced a factory barrel for $295 and a finnlight barrel for $499. Today I get one that says for a simple rebarrel with factory tube it's $1250. Any idea which one is correct? I know I should call them but I have been stuck in training all week. Dink
