Looking at possibly rebarreling a Savage Axis .223 to 300blk. Anyone know a good gun smith or somone who can do it for me? I've been given a couple of referrals but wanted to get a few other options. Thanks!

That would be Parish at Great Southern Gun Works - 251-635-1975 or 251-455-9870. His house/shop is behind the Mobile airport. He only works on rifles part time, but his turnaround time was very quick when I used him.

I've had one of the Ruger Ranch's on order since January. I'm not sure why Ruger isn't making them but from what I'm reading they are not producing any, and aren't planning to anytime soon. That's why I'm looking at other options.
Rob, do it yourself.
Get a Savage barrel nut wrench and a .300BLK headspace gauge.
Clamp barrel in vice between two pieces of 1/4" ply wood, take off barrel nut, unscrew .223 barrel, screw on BLK barrel until it bottoms out on headspace gauge, reinstall barrel nut. Done. There is absolutely no reason to pay someone to swap barrels on a Savage.
You gonna help a brother do it?
