Hey bullblaster did you have the  Shrewd Precision brake put on? I tend to favor the gill style brakes over the ported brakes. If you did how do you like it?

he installed a 4 port DE brake for me. he had it in stock because someone ordered it and then didnt want it. he also did a froends 338 RUM with a shrewd radial brake. it looked real good as well. he loves it also.
i prefer baffle brakes for shooting prone and keeping dust down.

teh smith will order any brake you want, but charges a bit more for baffle brake installs because of the indexing.

Kampfeld is only taking small projects, most on remington actions only

I really thought that is who would be working on this gun. Then I READ HIS LIST.

Hard to find anyone that wants to work on anything but remington

That last sentence says it all! There's a reason for that.. Gotta love Rem700 actions.

Benchmark did a complete build on a friends Sako 85 not too long ago.

Cool thanks guys.

I have a message left for shadow mtn.

Hammer you have number and name for the benchmark guys?

[Biggerhammer]

Sure, call Chris @ Benchmark. (360)652-2594

They just finished up a .338 Ultra Magnum for me and they should have another one ready with a Sako extractor, Muscle brake and Badger Ordnance bolt knob install this coming week. They will install any brake you like, I have even supplied them with a brake in the raw and had them finish it out and install it.

They installed this Harrell's brake I sent them on my XCR .375 Ultra Magnum along with a thread protector. 7 day turn around time.

Thanks, That's good to know because I have a couple bolt knobs I really like I might order them and send them in with the gun.

Mike Palazzo is the goodz, he is in Covington  (253) 631-3659

Mike screwed up two of my rifles and fought me tooth and nail to get them fixed ended up fixing one then i took the other one to someone else. He seems like a nice guy but i just think hes getting old and senile

Well I called and talked to one of the guys at benchmark. Very friendly and able to help me for the most part It was a yelling match when I asked if they could do my sako bolt. One person would yell at another trying to decide if they could do it. After about 4 people yelling back and fourth across the shop. They said that they should be able to do it Very nice and friendly. Prices seem fair. Pick the rifle up on Wednesday and then the projects start I ordered the bolt knob today and when I get the rife I will shoot it to make sure I want to spend the money on it. Then McMillan stock is next on the list. Bottom metal will be here on the 20Th

Benchmark is a group of good guys, sure their little laid back. They do good work at a fair price and they are local. Let us know how it goes.
