Palazzo does great work and reasonably fast. Great guy, have had him do a few things for me after my other rifle smith in Renton retired.

Post by: JWBINX on December 20, 2014, 01:29:05 PM: If your rifle is a Weatherby and fairly new 5-10 years old have Weatherby put on there brake out of the
custom shop, I think retail is about 170.00 plus some shipping, that way you still have a accuracy guarantee.
It will include a thread protector. If anybody else brakes a factory Weatherby all guarantees are off!!
If it is not a Weatherby, Either have Mag-na-brake or Diamond T (Shawn Thomason) out of Craigmont Idaho do it
they do great work. All the guys mentioned Cloward, Cowen are retired. :tup:
