Does anyone have any recommendations for a functional yet affordable barrel vise? I’m replacing a factory Tikka barrel with a prefit PBB.
Local gunsmiths are quoting me >$200 for the job, so it has me thinking I should just look into buying the tools myself. Even if I don’t anticipate using them often, I’d breakeven in a couple of barrel replacements.
Alternatively, if anyone knows of an affordable smith in Dallas, TX, area, I’d appreciate the recommendation. Or if you’re in the area and are open to letting me use yours, I’d happily pay in beer or something similar!
