I've been considering sending my Marlin Guide Gun t one of these two places to have it done up right.
The Yobo consist of:
* Shorten and recrown barrel at 16.5"
* Custom LPA ghostring sight installation with winged post front sight
* Barrel mounted Picatinny rail
* Enlarged lever loop
* Smooth all ports, inside and out
* Modify loading gate for easier loading/unloading/downloading
* Extensive action smoothing
* Trigger job
* Bobbed hammer
* Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad
* Leather butt cuff ammunition carrier
* Complete action dehorning
* Satin matte metal prep and blueing
All for about $1500.00 I also like their sidesling mount (not shown).
A pic:
The WWG consist of:
Barrel length 18.5 inches
Recoil Control Porting System
Straight style Wood Stock Cut to Your Length of Pull
Pachmayr Decelerator pad
Action tuned for reliability
WWG Trigger Happy Kit installed and set at approx. 3lbs
Safety Vented Magazine Tube
WWG Ghost Ring Rear Sight
Williams Fire Sight in red with skeletonized hood
Mil-Spec Parkerized finish or Bead Blasted Stainless
Test Fired
AND its rechambered to .457 Wild West Mag which will still chamber .45-70
Retail price here is $1320.00
I can't find a decent pic of a WWG Guide Gun.
My problem is I kinda like the Yobo package better if only I could get it chambered in .457 WW Mag.
What do you all think?
I know Yobo posts here on ARFCOM but don't know his/her screenname.
Thoughts?
Price difference doesn't matter much to me but it seems like you get much more bang for your buck with WWG. However, I've heard they are assholes to deal with.
