[QUOTE="Sflutes, post: 1582542, member: 106464"] Had to check that they are still in business (they are): [URL]http://www.jarrettrifles.com/index.html[/URL] Back in the 1990's while stationed in Charleston, my buddy & I drove to Jarrett's shop where the owner Kenny gave us a tour and a list of options for my friend to accurize his Ruger 77 in .308. What they settled on was to rechamber the original barrel to 300 Jarrett, free float it, and have Kenny work his magic on the bolt and action. Probably the 2nd-cheapest option on what was Kenny's third-favorite brand of rifle, so he bumped down his normal guarantee of 1" at 300 yards to something slightly less incredible. For some figure way under 1 grand. Deal done, Ruger 77 left at his place (cleanest machine shop i've seen in my life) he continued on to show us the Masters Long Range Event bolt pistols he had in process for TGO and for Koenig, then a look at his land which is a very nice spread. Some weeks later we pick up the finished rifle and shoot it. I stop after about 5 rounds, 300 Jarrett has some kick to it... Long story short, after seeing what load combo it really likes, using Kenny's dies and ammo recipes, the gun shot 5/8" at 300 yards, twice. I witnessed it. I'd search around to make sure they still have the same reputation today and if they do, a very good choice. I think they've done bolt pistols for benos if I remember correctly. [/QUOTE]
