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.

Thanks everyone, I’m going to check some of these guys tomorrow.  My gunsmith and one of my best friends passed away.

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