Riflesmith in Scotland?

[wildfowler.250]

So some of you may have seen my thread recently about a moderator search. Took the rifle to my local store and typically the thread is useless,(unused sako 75 but not threaded in the factory). I know there’s a chap in tomintoul that’s well thought of. Is there anyone else in Scotland? Keen to avoid rfd hassle if possible but could send it elsewhere.

Is there anything else worth doing whilst it’s in the shop? I’ve dropped the trigger pressure as much as seemed possible on the rifle but it’s still heavier and less crisp than another 75 I’ve bought second hand.


Cheers!

Where are you based as there’s no location.
Near the Central belt I could recommend someone.

Wallace Mccrea, in Kirkudbright is excellent. He threaded a barrel for me, highly recommended if you get down that way.

Make an appointment, turn up, leave your rifle, go away and have some lunch nearby. When you come back, it'll be done. A sit down in his living room with a beverage of choice, with a nice view and an interesting chat were thrown in.

....But in any case, Edinburgh Rifles is a lot closer to you I'd guess.

Cheers for all the feedback and PMs guys. Lots of help and surprised how many options there actually were,(thought we’d be fairly limited up here as per usual). Haven’t got it cut yet but lots to go on. Apologies in the delay replying as I’ve hardly been on the last wee while. Many thanks!

Callum Ferguson at PRS in Tomintoul. As well as sporting rifles, he looks after many of the Scotland and GB long range target rifle team members and he is technically superb. Has been keeping me hitting the bullseye for some 15 years.

I think he must be swamped. I pinged him an online email/request from his website several weeks ago to get a rough idea of price/timescale etc and never heard back. Always seems highly recommended but could be a long wait!
