As the title states, I'm looking for a reputable gunsmith that deals with tactical rifles. I'm located in west TN, but am willing to travel to SE Missouri, SW Kentucky, NE Arkansas, etc.

Do you need to travel there or can it all be done via phone and shipping?

I'm not saying there isn't someone because I don't know, I'm just asking why you need to travel?

I've been asking myself the same thing. I have several "little" projects that I'd like to have done that don't require a custom builder, and it'd be a lot easier to have it done "locally" than to deal with shipping, etc. If you find one, post the results...

Check with Jeff Walle at Guns and Leather in Greenbrier, TN. He's been around a long time and is well respected.

I am in Northwest TN and do some stuff (part time FFL and Gunsmith) and know others that do more. Let me know what you need and maybe I can help.

I to have looked, Simple stuff like installing Brakes I have needed done. I tried contacting the fellow at Guns and leather before with no luck, just a machine. I have a couple more barrels that will need threaded soon.

Predator Custom Shop are good people. Havent had any work done by them but a few buddies had some rifles built by them. Their quality is great and service is great as well. I met them all at SHOT Show in 08. Nice guys.
