Bedding a Winchester model 70 action and floating the barrel in BR

[CAP80]

Hey Guys I just moved to Baton Rouge and I am looking for a gunsmith to bed a Winchester model 70 action and float the barrel. I have called around, but have not found anyone willing to do it. Do yall have any recommendations?

I don't mind traveling a little bit to get to a quality smith

My dad has prolly sent 2 of Eduardo Chahin’s kids to college by now, lol. He’s a fine gunsmith for certain. Gonna cost you though.
I will say that anyone with decent crafting skills can manage floating a barrel and action. I’m sure their are vids on YouTube that’ll walk you right through it. I’ve done several of my own rifles over the years. I do some glass bedding and also make my own blocks from aluminum. Some are as easy as the correct steel washer. Last one I did was a Ruger M77 in .270. Anyway, just an option.
