Need gunsmith recommendation

[sw0596]

Hey everybody I need some input. I have a Winchester 70 Safari in 375 h&h and purchased a really nice super grade factory stock. I want to get at least the recoil lugs glass bedded, if not the whole action to eliminate as much as possible, cracking the stock. My problem is finding a really good smith to handle this task without having to go farther south than Marietta or having to ship the rifle. I can find tons of smiths that work on black or tactical stuff but I need a smith that knows his stuff on old stuff (wood stock). Last thing I want is someone jacking up a fine super grade stock. Anybody know a top notch old school smith?

I would be inclined to to it myself. There are some excellent videos.

Gunsmiths? No clue. Sorry

I thought so too but the more videos I watched the less I feel like trying. I'd try it in a $500 rifle but not on this super grade 70. I've had nightmares of glueing it in the stock or getting it mechanically locked in.

Deer creek gun shop. Right near the civic center in Marietta. They are good

I had forgotten about them. I'll call them tomorrow. Thanks
