Looking for reputable gunsmith in NW Washington

[VICOMB]

I have a Fierce Carbon Rage 7mm rem mag about 4 years old. Just last week I started some new load development and found that the bolt was a little sticky and wouldn't fully eject my old or new reloads. After taking down the bolt and cleaning it with Boretech and the action and chamber, I noticed the extractor didn't look right and wouldn't move in or out without a lot of pressure. Now it won't even extract the cartridge out of the chamber. I was going to try to replace the extractor myself but I rather a professional to replace it because it's a great shooting rifle and I don't want to screw it up. Any referrals will be greatly appreciated!

I do not know his workload but try @Elk Hunter 338 - https://www.laneprecisionrifles.com/. He is also a Site Sponsor and as good as they come.

I'm sorry, I know you said NW WA, but I'm just trying to get you to a reputable GS in the NW.

Oregon GunS.ithing has done well for me on 2 custom Ruger No1s.

Have you contacted the original supplier (Fierce)? If so, what was their response?

I have never had work done by oregunsmithing but their work has been featured in Rifle and Handloader magazine. It looks top notch to me. They are out of Pendleton, OR. He specializes in Howa builds but is great with anything. Check him out.

Oh and I would be careful about buying fierce rifles in the future, I have heard many bad things about them.
