Far and away, Bob green in york pa. Hes a champion benchrest shooter and builder. Has done quite a few jobs for me and it's always perfect.

I've used Kevin Cram at Montour County Rifles, he is in Danville, PA. I was very pleased with his work.

PVA or Keystone

Hart out of nescopeck builds some accurate rifles. More hunting or bench rest oriented though.

Pretty sure he closed shop.

I was wondering if his name would come up. I used him once......my 30 cal can got an end cap strike with a 6mm bullet. Then he wouldn't call me back.

I made the mistake of taking a pistol to a new shop. To try and support small business I let them fit and blend a magwell to a 1911. Was bad. They wanted a chance to make it right, so I took it back. I hate it now. $3500+ paperweight.

Borden Rifles is certainly capable, I'm not sure if they still do builds or just manufacture actions but they can certainly point you on the right direction. Pennsylvania is about home base to everything gunsmithing. Many good smiths in this thread. Hart is great, Kevin Cram, Bob Green. Pennsylvania is to gunsmithing what Wisconsin is to barrel making.

Dave Bruno in Dayton PA. Outstanding work. Built me many custom rifles.
