Title: saaaaweeeet!
Post by: high country on December 14, 2010, 10:43:33 AM: I have a 375 H&H that has a target weight barrel on it, it is an 11pound gun, shoots killer, packs even more killer. I have been wanting to turn it down or flute the piss out of it to drop some tonnage. I just got off the phone with mel doyle. he told me I coul have it back in 3 days and the price was beyond fair! that is about 150 bux less and 3 months faster then the rest of the guys. I will be the proud owner of a rifle that weighs about 8 pounds and hits like a house. I am gonna run it down next week after I blast a bull with it!

I am flat impressed that he can get it done that quick. any eastside guys looking for a smith and anyone looking for a pro blue job.....mel doyle's price can't be beat and he does a nice job.
