If you don't find anyone in Prince and you wanted to drive out here to Burns Lake, you could try bill @ billsguns

No doubt about it Bill is a fine smith. The other alternative is get a can of Devcon 10110 and do it yourself. Its not hard and quite enjoyable. I have an excellent article downloaded from 6mmBR.com I can send you on stress free pillar bedding. Just did a buddys rifle and it went without a hitch.
Or get ahold of Bill in Burns and he even comes to PG quite a bit. You could hook up with him here and save some shipping.
I STRONGLY recommend not getting it done in town here.

Corlanes

Corlane's / Rocky Mountain Rifles gets my vote. They do great work, and its only a 2hr drive for me from Alberta. They have done workk for me and a few friends in the past and right now making a new barrel for me for a project rifle.

Corlanes is top notch. They did the smithing on my bench gun and my tactical/hunting rig. Reasonable price quoted and charged and done when said it will be done.
