Default Canadian custom Gunsmiths

So I am in the process of setting up a new rig. Initially started at looking at Sako 85. Have recently been more into the Christensen Arms Ridgeline or a Fierce rifle. Looking at something in the 6.5 creed/prc or 7mm rem area. I currently have a heavy barrel 300 winmag. As I hunt mostly from long hikes I am getting sick of how heavy that gun is.
Parameters for me are
6-8 lbs
Prefer mag over hingeplate
Smaller calibre than the 300win
under 4k for the rifle
looking at NF nxs or leupold or zeiss for scope, around 2k
currently not reloading so want to be able to shoot factory ammo. (possibility of reloading in the future)
Now as I tend to research a decent amount there seems to be some flags with both CA and Fierce and some guys recommend just going custom.
So with that in mind I was wondering the options for a Canada based custom rifle maker. I have taken a look at Corlanes so far.
The closer to Edmonton the better as I would love to be able to speak in person.
I know it is silly but I am enamored by the carbon barrels, but that isn't a deal breaker for me.
Also have land where I am shooting out past 600 for fun which is the reason I want something that I can grow into reloading on.
Anyway any insightful advice or comments would be appreciated.
Cheers
