Recommend a gunsmith for my pillars and bedding
I am about to order pillars and a new recoil lug for my T3 and want to have them installed and rifle bedded. Can anyone recommend a good gunsmith in Alberta that they would recommend to complete this work.
Oh and I know this is not that hard and I could do it myself But I am more comfortable knowing that it is done correctly by an expert who is more familiar with this
I am in Edmonton but not scared to ship it to or drive to the right guy.
Thanks

Give Julian at Down Range Precision a call. He's out by Lac La Nonne on Hwy 33.

If you want to drive Bob Galloway or Don McMurtry from Rocky or David Henry from Bentley. Hillbilly Arms in Nanton if you want to ship it.

Thanks guys,
I guess I should have been a bit more specific as the Tikka has a recoil lug that is intrinsic to the stock as opposed to the barrel so there is a bit different method in bedding the stock that usually requires a 3 step process to do the pillars and the bed the lug and the action.
I was hoping to find a smith who had done this a few times or guys on here who might of had it done on a tikka.
Any gunsmiths on here that are familiar with doing this process and are willing to the work feel free to chime in as well.
Thanks

I think Gitrdun has experience bedding Tikkas.
I have bedded a few Sakos with the id action recoil "key" without issues, did them the same as a normal recoil lug.

Mitch Kendall is the best synthetic stock guy in this country.
