Gunsmith Recommendation for Glass Bedding

[Countryboiwilsurvive]

Who do yall recommend for glass bedding in the USA? I’ve got 2 builds I’d like to glass bed. 6.5 prc and 7 prc with a lone peak fuzion actions and AG carbon stocks.
I know some say you don’t have to bed them, but I’d rather take the extra step in hopes of achieving a little more accuracy.
Who have you used before with good success and how quick was the turn around time?
I don’t trust myself to do this and would much rather trust a professional with these components. I’m not mechanically inclined at all.. Who is the best of the best?!
Thanks!

Paul from Country Custom Metalsmithing takes glass bedding to the next level, his work is amazing.

Location will help. I would go local on a recommendation.

Bedding isn't difficult, any competent smith usually does a solid enough job. Some have a way of art with it, they are the really popular ones, as reputation precedes them. I'd try find a guy local as hereinaz suggested, and that way a relationship can be formed.

Thanks, that’s a fair point to try and find someone local. I’m sure this won’t be the only time I need some work done.
I’m in North Georgia, anyone know a reputable gun smith in the state or Southeast??

How long do you typically have to wait for a bedding job?

Georgia is easy. Roger Ferrell in Fayetteville. He has built me a couple of rifles in the past and is working on a 338Fed for me right now. He has bedded rifles, threaded barrels and built complete rifles for me. He does quality work. About the only thing he does not do is bluing or coatings. He subs that out but it is still topnotch work. He is an amazing stock builder too...from just a chunk of wood! He is more than a gunsmith. He is a custom gun maker. If you need his contact info, just send me a PM.

Do it yourself. It’s super easy and not worth the trouble of sourcing a gunsmith and waiting.

Almost 3 months for mine last year, but it seems that good gunsmiths are typically well known and have a long backlog.

When I bed my own, I do all the prep work and assembly prior to dinner then pull it apart in the morning. It gives the epoxy plenty of time to cure. It is a pretty easy job really. IMO, a week turnaround is the most expeditious timeframe. Realistically a month. Call Roger and ask him.

I've used Kampfeld Customs, Karl was quick and did an excellent job. I can't remember the turn-a-round time but it was much faster than he told me it was going to be.

Eddie Fosnaugh did a Kimber Montana for me and it’s excellent.

Bugholes (Southern Precision Rifles) is another I would recommend. They are in Cookeville Tn.

Southern Precision Rifles - your one stop shop for bolt action rifles and parts. We build competition rifles that win and hunting rifles that bring home the game.

Kampfeld has bedded 3-4 for me. His bedding and cerakote work is flawless.
