Default Gun smith recommendations

Looking to re-chamber a rifle to 300 H&H and wondering if anyone has a recommendation of a gun smith in the central Alberta area.

David Henry chambered my 300H&H this year. Job was done quickly, no issues.

Nice guy!

They are all long enough. It just depends on how much work you want to do to them

Send it to me I can use the practice. Lol just kidding. I've gotten some work done by Ron Smith. He's got a long wait list but might be able to squeeze a quick one in.
