I can recommend Dan Pedersen for such work. He did a barrel for me that I was quite satisfied with. His web site is: http://www.cutrifle.com/

What a great looking rifle.
Nothing much to add.
I think I still have one of Mr.West's brochures somewhere from a visit to one of the Guild Shows in the (mid?) 80's.

I believe Bob Snapp is fully retired now, that's what he said last time I spoke with him.

Bob West rebored a number of single shot rifles with HORRIBLE bores (only reason I could afford them....) for me and I spent at least as much time in his shop during my post-doc summer at UO as I did in class. He took his time on rebore jobs but the results would SHOOT! I first met him in about 1975 and always stopped to see him when I was going up or down The Slab in Oregon. Miss him, his work and his disdain for gunsmiths who were afraid of lawyers.

Very cool, thanks for posting that! I had never heard of him before. Not sure what is more amazing, that he would take the time to shorten a remington 700 action, or that he would want to list it as one of his specialties. Obviously a very talented craftsman.

Well very cool. I HATE to mess with his work, but I need to find a way
To make it legal for deer. I hope I can get it nudged to 250-3000 without much risk!

So I have spent two years trying to get a call in to Dan Pedersen. For a good while he had a message that wasn't taking messages or accepting new work. At one point I was able to leave a message and I even sent a letter at one point, with no reply.
Any recommendations? I have a dozen other ways to shoot deer, but would still love to make this 22-250 a 250-3000.
Anyone know Dan and can get it in there? or have other recommendations?

Marks_21,
Turn a new barrel( or take off, if you need to) into it and save his barrel to go back in later.

A fine suggestion but I assume the octagon Barrel makes that costly ?
Who would even do that these days ?
