It has been a while since I played around with bolt action rifles.  This past week I went out with some friends and did some long distance shooting.  I had forgotten how much fun it can be.

I have a 40 year old Remington 700 BDL Varmint in .308 that I would like to have upgraded and set up for this game.  Who are the go-to rifle builders in the DFW area?

Thanks,

Bud

Alamo Precision appears to be exactly what I am looking for.

Thanks all.

Good luck to you, Bud. I really like working with those guys and all of the rifles they have built for me were EXACTLY what I wanted.

What do you think you would build?

We were ringing plates at 1000 yards in a decent wind.  Something that can do that regularly is probably where I want to start.

I figured that the bones of my old 700 would be an OK place to start.

I haven't had him build a rifle for me, but he has worked on several rifles for me and his work is good. Also did some NFA stuff with him.

FYI. Stick has passed away.
The kid Michael who bought S&S from Stick. Is no Stick, he holds no candle to him at all.

I hate to hear that. Stick was a hoot.
