[QUOTE="Clark, post: 338644, member: 6600"] I have heard the term "best gunsmiith".. beware. A 308 Savage 99 that was in my family in the 1960s was gone. I bought it back from a guy who had it rebarrelled by "The best gunsmith in Western Washington". Before firing it, I checked the headspace, and it had .035" too much on a factory replacement barrel. Setting a Sav 99 barrel back .035" is a lot of trouble, with all those relief cuts. Now it will shoot a 1.2" 5 shot group @ 50 yards with a 2.5X scope. [/QUOTE]
