...who did some fine work for me years ago. Gary is listed in this forum's Top Gunsmiths...
 
I live in Arizona, Patriot Precision (Show Low) has made three rifles for me, they are all shooters but I’ve also sent many projects out of state. They end up being just as fast. make a few calls and see who has the shortest backlog of the ones you’ll feel comfortable with.

Alex Wheeler with Wheeler Accuracy
Jon Beanland, Beanland rifles
Mike Bryant, Bryant Custom

are three I've used and been super happy with, all hunting rifles. I hear good things about others here too WSMNUT is one who’s name I’m seeing mentioned a lot. Lots of choices. I would caution you not to base your choice on who’s the closest to you, I made the mistake once and learned it pays to do a little research.
 
Next question for anyone in Arizona. Who do you recommend for barrel work? Thread, chamber, crown, etc?
Are you benchrest, hunting, PRS/NRL, general purpose?

Lester Bruno can do benchrest/f-class. For everything else I would use AxisWorks in Tempe. The are good people and do great work.
 

You might give these guys a call, they did some work for me several months ago, it took about twice as long as they quoted, but there's allot of that going on. They're in TX.

Tyler Gun Works.

+1 for Gary O above. He has done a couple small jobs for me. Great to deal with.
Gary did my Benchrest rifle precovid 6 Dasher (Lapua) and bedded the action. Great work great guy to do business with.
 
I also recommend Alex Wheeler. Excellent work and great guy. He chambered my last 284 Winny Brux barrel
