Can anyone recommend a good gunsmith in Orange County, CA?

I bought a Timney to replace the X-Mark pro trigger on my 20" 700 SPS AAC-SD that's been recalled and I'd like to have it installed (AICS chassis will likely need to be inlet). I'm considering having the bolt knob replaced and having the barrel and action cerakoted as well.

I searched the forum a bit and R&D Precision seems to be highly recommended, but they're about an hour away if there's no traffic. Are there any good smiths that are a bit closer to me?

Obviously being from MI I am not too familiar with the locals but I have had R&D build a rifle for me. Similar setup; rebarreled 700 in an AICS 1.5 chassis and he added the badger bolt knob for me and did the install of the Jewell trigger as well. I have targets with groups 1/4 MOA and a picture of the rifle if you want to see his work. I would highly recommend making the drive and using him.

An hour away isn't bad to have a true professional work on your rifle. R&D is good to go.

Randal aka ar15barrels on Calguns. He is probably the best smith in so ca.
