Washington Gunsmith Recommendations?

[Brydawg512]

Hello all,

Looking for gunsmith recommendations in Washington, preferably on the eastside. I am located in Ellensburg. I am looking to have the barrel on my rifle threaded for a brake.

Thanks in advance.

There several top notch builders in Idaho. Lane Precision, Whaley Precision, Defensive Edge, Hells Canyon Armory. They all produce a great rifle.

Rbros would be my vote, he's west side but he does great work. Just finished up a buddies 7mm RM shooting 180gr Berger's. Was smacking 26" rock at 1,318yds last weekend

RBROS does good work, but hitting a 2moa size target? That's like shooting 2" groups at 100y. I'm sure the rifle is capable of much more.

A lot more comes into play at 1,300 yds... but ok we'll practice.

I'll rephrase... center punching a 26" rock. Group was tighter than the rock, but what do we know

Hitting a 26" object at 1300y takes knowing your dope and being able to read wind if present. Ammo consistency on your es is the biggest factor here. Hitting a 2moa target is more shooter and consistent ammo at this point. An RBROS rifle is usually capable of sub half moa. I know your thinking I'm a *****, but running a 5k dollar rifle with proper handloads and solid dope, 2 moa targets should be pretty much range dial shoot impact.

It was exactly that, range, dial, shoot and he nailed it. Whats your point? You're assuming a lot. They are handloads, the very load Travis developed for that rifle. I was simply stating it was a nice gun making 1,300yd impacts during barrel break in. To OP, give travis a call, he'll take care of ya.

You kinda proved my point. It IS that easy with an RBROS rifle. Thats 2 votes!

Ellensburg to Oly isn't that far if top quality is the goal. Having the assurance that Travis at RBros did the work is money well spent.

I know you are asking for a recommendation but what kind of research you have done yourself so we do not duplicate your efforts.

And just to be clear, you are asking for a gunsmith that can thread your barrel for muzzle brake?

Have you contacted?

According to his website, he is a builder and NOT currently doing gunsmithing operations such as the OP's gunsmithing requirement.

The Range in Yakima will thread your barrel for $100 or so. Request JD, he worked at McMillan for a stint
