Riflesmith recommendations for new barrel

[Dorset Shakari]

Hi Folks

Wondering what the latest recommendations are for rebarreling. Southern England ideally.

Thanks

Neil McKillop aka dasherman on here

Or (depending on your definition of southern England), Andy/ Ronin on here

James of JagerSA, his work is the same as anybody else but his prices are better.

Paddy Dane is the only guy I'll use

Another vote for Neil McKillop.

Mike Norris of Brock and Norris. Not the cheapest but really good work

If it's just for stalking, buy another rifle.

If it's just for stalking, buy another rifle.

That would genrally be the cheapest option . Though some might want to keep the same stock and action .

Built mine, got a Sweede for stalking & Jaeger build for 1km+ at mo

I've met a few lads on driven boar trips over the years that have had rifles built by James and they have all spoken well of him and the rifles being used have proven to be well built. I have a 222 re-barrelled by James and can't fault it.

A vote for @Ronin

Built a rifle for me that shoots one hole groups that several can attest to, and rifles for good friends that I will attest to!!

Another vote for @Ronin

The man is a magician.

Paddy Croft should be able to help you out, he's only at Galhampton, so not far from you,

 

[bluesako]

plus 1 for ronin

 

[bowji john]

Lots of good rifle smiths but my preferred smith is @Ronin

 

[Dorset Shakari]

Thanks very much Chaps.

Couldn’t meet a more knowledgeable, helpful and talented artisan then Ronin 浪人

Had good experiences with Neil McKillop and James of JagerSA but I found I could not recommend Paddy Dane. Does good work but will disappear on you after taking large amounts of funds and not be contactable.

Or people who want to pause their rifle builds because they decided to have a bathroom fitted instead. And who then decide they want special payment terms and a discount when presented with the final bill.
