Mods, not sure if this is the proper forum but the topic was prompted by work I need done on a couple of rifles but move it if you see fit.
In any event, I used the same gun smith for many years. But he's gone now. My back up guy does good work at reasonable prices but he's been going down hill health wise. I finally got in a new trigger for one of my 700s. I have 2 total I'm replacing triggers on, anyway so I called him and at first he said he was shutting down and couldn't help me. But then I told him who I was and he said if I would bring them in next Wednesday at 8am and pick them up no later than 5pm he would do it for me.
I've been asking around for a while now and the only other guy I can find just wants to talk about building me a custom rifle. On the few chores i asked him about his pricing was high as a Giraffe's behind. i don't know what I'm going to do.
Anyone else have this issue? I mean to me, having a 'smith i can trust is a big deal.
