Try Firemaster's, they're just south of Chehalis, near Mayfield Lake. They glass bedded my 338 Win. Mag. last summer, and turnaround time was only one week. I was impressed.

Benchmark in Arlington if it’s not too far for you.

Don't know for sure if he is still around, but he is (was) in Shelton.  May be worth a call.

From what I’ve researched and heard, I would go with benchmark. I’ve talked to them about getting some work done and they are professional.

If you are considering a different cartridge, then you might think about sending your rifle to JES Reboring in Oregon.
