Looking for a gunsmith recommendation in DFW area. I am wanting to build a custom bolt action rifle and looking for a good gunsmith or rifle custom shop. Leaning towards a defiance action in 6.5CM and a proof carbon barrel. Will mostly be a hunting rifle but will also use for some long range plinking.
Thanks in advance.
 
My first custom rifle was built by Mike Bryant... 6x47 Lapua...


Located in Wheeler TX

I'm not sure what barrel it is on... #5 maybe....
 
Alamo if you are looking for local high quality work with customer service and an actual brick and mortar you can visit.

Robert and hia crew have built a couple for me and I could not be more pleased.
 
Jonathan Stigall who owns Crimson Accuracy (Cresson, Texas) has built me several accurate rifles. He’s 45 min West of Dallas. Jonathan trained under Speedy Gonzales and Don “Stick” Starks at S&S Precision. Dudes a perfectionist and his bedding jobs are the best I’ve seen.

Here is my varmint , coyote, crow “fun gun” chambered in 22 Beggs.; basically a straight 220 Russian. No prep work, load Lapua brass and go.

Nesika C single-shot (Poulsboro, WA action)
Ljlja 22” # 5 threaded
McMillan varminter stock
8 lbs. 10 ozs as pictured
Jewell 12 oz. bottom safety

26 grs N133 52 gr Berger at 3600 fps into tiny bug holes

Drop off your components as turnaround time is 2-4 weeks

Mirage ULR!!! Bob & George are awesome builders. They are well known in the industry but overly so... If you know what I mean. Located In Azle, Tx. (Just N of FW). Below is my 6CM in their chassis.

Another vote for S&S Precision located in Denton, TX. Just visited them this week. Mikael builds great rifles and is also used by several LE departments.
