Well, The gun smith is Shane Eldridge in Carlisle, AR. My dad knows him and several of my friends. I have a 6.5-284 that he recut the chamber from a 6.5x55 Husquvarna Crown Grade, and that rifle is amazing for an average sporter. Not sure if he did the bedding or not, it had been in the family for a while, whatever he did even if just the chamber, he did it well! He built a savage 99 that is more accurate than most really fine shooting bolt actions, looks nice too.
