The one gunsmith has left Snowy Mountain Rifles the other month. That a long drive. He has relocated. If I am correct his Phone # is (406) 369-3007. I left that part of the country just as he was moving. There is a man from middle Montana that has been blogging here on High Velocity Throat Erosion just as of late. He seem to be a top notch smith too. (FIFTYDRIVER). There another one in Wheatlen Wy I believe.

I forgot about Peter. Don't tell him.Adding to the list would be Peter Angelos of Omega Precision in Gillette.
Chuck has built several rifles and even more specialty pistols for me, and they are great performers.
Peter has built me two so far, and they have had stellar accuracy too.
Once in A Lifetime
The Wednesday after Father's Day, there were seven of us out trying to shoot a prairie dog past 1K with specialty pistols. Steve Hugel (My longtime hunting buddy from Pueblo) and I spotted for four plus hours. There were others who would shoot for awhile, and then turn around and spot as well...www.longrangehunting.com

Dallas does awesome work too, he built my 30 nosler. Just not sure if Pocatello would be too far for him? If not, strongly recommend him as well.

Honestly there isn't a drive too far, I'm originally from the East (NY/PA) and with all of the quality gunsmiths in the west I planned to ship or deliver the gun by hand, this was before I made the move out here. So really, wherever. I have taken notes and will be in contact with the most reputable guys mentioned here, can't stress how much I appreciate the information.

You might try Ricochet Custom Firearms - 406-690-4985, or Montana Accuracy Firearms - 406-671-2376, both located in Billings. I have no experience with either, just know of them.

I did forget about Omega & kinda feel bad about it. He does really good work & seems to be a stand up guy.
I've had several rifles built at LRI, Chad & team take gun plumbing to a whole 'nother realm. Beware, the Sturgis bike rally starts next week lol

I had Mac's rebarrel a Remington 700 for me. Carbon fiber 6.5 PRC. It looks and shoots awesome. The most accurate rifle I own.
It also depends on what barrel you are going to place to the action. Some barrels are 12 to 14 months to acquire. I was just looking this morning for a .257 caliber.

I'm not dead set on any one brand, probably going off the smith's recommendation, staying away from carbon most likely though.

Agree with this, work with your smith. Let him guide you on a barrel. I did not want to be the guy insisting on brand X when the gunsmith did not "support" X. My thought, if the gunsmith was involved all the way through, there would not be finger pointing between smith and barrel manufacture if it did not shoot. Yes there is the thought that a good reputable smith would make it right regardless, and that is true.
