Re: Denver/Front Range Gunsmith?
I couldn't find one myself, so I sent my rifle to Charley Robertson at Score High Gunsmithing in Albuquerque, NM. He goes by the screen name of <span style="color: #FF6600"><span style="font-weight: bold">ScoreHigh</span></span> here on the Hide. Shipping costs to NM are not that bad from CO. I had him pillar bed it and cut/recrown the barrel. I just got it back and it's a top-quality job! Thanks Charley! Turn around time to include shipping was 3 weeks.

+1000000 on Mark C.
Known the man over ten years. Best dern barrels on planet earth, one hell of a smith, and the nicest/honest person you'll ever meet.
Well worth the trip to Longmont.
Good luck.

Re: Denver/Front Range Gunsmith?
Buckey and PMP,
thanks for suggesting Rich @ HTCustoms. I stopped by his shop a couple weeks ago while I was in Colorado Springs for work. He stated his lead time, long like others. He then offered, if I would meet him early on a Sunday, he would true the action and chamber the barrel while I wait, Hell ya I'll do that!
Met him at his shop early this AM, I'm a couple hrs away. It was a treat to watch him work. He patiently answered my questions as he worked.
Look forward to shooting the rifle, no doubt it'll shoot great.
Thanks again guys for suggesting Rich. Class act for sure!

Glad Rich got you squared away!! His shop is really nice - gave me the tour after I tagged my elk in the picture I posted above.
