By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Up in the lake Stevens area is Jim Cloward. Jim is said to be one of the top gun smiths in the nation for bolt actions. A barrel hone, bedding, trigger job and a crown job will run you about 210.00 and his turn around is less than 2 weeks thanks to the economy. You can reach Jim at 425-334-3006.

If you lap the lugs, you are going to have to have the barrel set back a turn.  It will change the headspace.  And if you are going to do that, you might as well have the action face squared up, and trued as well, since the barrel will be off the gun.

The shop in Sammamish is called Spot on Smithing. I have sent e-mails and had one reply. I have asked for a price and haven't heard back. I will call them maybe closer to this spring. Their number is 425-533-8555.

Email John Taylor. He will respond same or next day. I've not worked with him yet, but he comes recommended to me. I've chatted/emailed with him and he seems to know exactly what I want in an accurized custom rifle.

Galpster  I'm curious how much this costs.. I have a rem 700 LH lam stock... It shoots pretty good, but I'd love to make it shoot better...

I originally did but then I just replied to the message I received from his blackberry. that may be the problem. Anyway I did receive a response today on cost and I am very happy with what he said. I am now just wanting to be sure of his work. Thanks for all the help everyone on here has provided me. I will let everyone know how this turns out.

I haven't used Angie but a friend swears by him.  He takes all his Kimbers to him or did anyways.  My buddy said he is pretty meticulous and even builds custom .45's.
