Recommend a gunsmith for Savage bolt gun?

[antsi]

I've got a pre-accutrigger Savage 110 with a heavy trigger and a cracked barrel locking nut.

Would appreciate recommendations for any gunsmiths in the area who would are known to be good with Savage rifles.

PS - "in the area" - local is Carmel, but anywhere in Central IN would be fine. Also willing to consider shipping the gun elsewhere if necessary but would prefer not to.

Look over at- Savage Shooters - Home
tons of info over there

You could replace the cracked nut and tune/replace the trigger yourself quite easily, with a minimal investment in tools.

What caliber 110?

Thanks for the advice. I checked out Savageshooters.com - you're right, lots of good info there. SSdoug, Sharps looks good and I am considering doing their "competition trigger" replacement.

AVboiler, the rifle is a 30-06. Looks to me like I'd need a barrel wrench, an action wrench, and headspace guages. To do the job once, seems the costs of the tools vs. gunsmith time are about equal or slightly more for the tools. Obviously this would get economical if I wind up rebarrelling another Savage.

You might contact MS Armament. I don't think they do gunsmithing per se, but I know they do barrel swaps on Savages and should have all the necessary equipment with the possible exception of go/no-go gages.

I'd do it for a 12 pack of beer (even have a spare barrel nut or two) but I don't have 30-06 headspace gages...

If you find you need to ship definitely check out DRK Global Manufacturing in Mishawaka, IN. Dan does good work.
