Looking for a true Winchester Riflesmith to build on a Montana 1999 action (M70 clone) Somebody that really likes them. It would seem 99% of the people building guns want to build on a Remington action...Guess I am just odd
 
I have 2 m70 rifles built by LRI.

Here is my 6.5cm. The 300wsm is identical except it's a 24" Proof and has a NX8 on it.

Many can do a really great job. Have seen in person the LRI and Crescent Customs work

LRI does some cool stuff.

Look for Chad’s video of truing one up on his 5 axis machine. Its pretty awesome to watch.

Moon from Crescent Customs is working on one for me currently. I researched smiths for my build two years ago. I came up with the same 3 guys. I just chose moon, I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the three. Best of luck.

For my first one I was going to have Moon build. Then something happened and all my parts showed up ahead of time and I had the chance to hunt that season instead of the next year as I had thought.

I knew Chad's, LRI, reputation for work and turn around times so I called and explained what I had going on. Sure enough he said he would get it back in time to hunt. So 12 days after I mailed my parts off I had it show back up at my house. After that I am a customer for life.

As said above. I don't think you can go wrong with Moon, SAC or LRI.
