Hi, A friend is looking for a gunsmith in Christchurch preferably who can drill and tap an old target 308 for a scope. Gunworks and Greystone are not interested in doing it.

Sounds a bit odd. Maybe set up more for production work and dont want one offs.
I can recommend Zac at north Canterbury gunsmiths on the Christchurch side of Rangoon (Rangiora).
unless he is super busy I cant imagine why he wouldnt
Xyon, I cant help with any suggestions, but would you be so kind as to tell us what make and maybe model the target rifle is?
I remember din collings telling me the sa guns were all hardened steel because they had lots of diamond dust tooling and could machine them easily .
Cheers mate.
I suspected as much. Smiths would prefer not to drill and tap these because of the hardening. If your mate would ever consider selling, please let me know?
I absolutely adore those RSA Musgraves.
Kindest regards.

This is my pride and joy. Had to drill and tap her too and it was'nt fun......
Yup. 7.62 Lyttleton on the action....
Lordy, is that your afternoons ammunition allocation?
Its been some time since I've put 200 down a tube in a single session.. Ive got just shy of 200 perfect classed cases for this rifle and found that they fitted quite nicely in this packaging.
The barrel(Krieger) is still in perfect nick, it was fitted in 1996 according to the engraving on the barrel.
