Recommendations for a Winchester M70 gunsmith?

[Steave]

I've got a Winchester M70 that I'm considering having the action trued, can anyone recommend a good gunsmith that accurizes Win M70's? Obviously finding someone for a Rem 700 isn't a problem, but I've run across several who will not work on M70's. I'd rather not take it just to any old 'smith, but someone that has lots of M70 accuracy experience. Any recommendations?

Thanks much!

John Whidden is a sponsor on this site and he shoots Winchester rifles. Three National Long Range Championships so far. Call and ask him. He says he is not taking new work but he may have a recommendation. He built my prone rifle - now on its third barrel and shooting much better than the nut job pulling the trigger. MT Guns did my barrel jobs.
Also look at Superior Shooting Systems for Winchester cocking pieces and Speed Lock firing pins/springs. I have a Jewel trigger that is a joy to use as well.
Good luck!
