600 + km but there is always Col Crittendon here in Laceby Victoria (3678)
I can give you his mobile number if your interested.

He built my .308 Norma Magnum and did a superb job of it.

Plus 1 for Col, he has only done a small job for me but comes very highly regarded and is a damn nice bloke to deal with.

Bit of a hike from you, but my gunsmith Darren in Griffith has a VT reamer and has made 6 so far, all customers are extremely happy with his work. He has built my 17/222, his work on that was very good and very quick, two weeks from drop off to pick up, and that included me not being able to get there for 5 days after it was completed.

The 17 hornet will probably fit your needs very well, I would think.
And sounds like the deal is too good to pass up.
We will need pics of course and details.
