    Anyone recommend a good gunsmith in the Wellington area?

    Hi Guys can anyone recommend a good gunsmith in the Wellington area?

    Want to get my rifle bedded and maybe change the stock.

    Apologies if this is in the wrong section, wasn't sure where to ask.

    Heard awesome things about Scott too. Mitch is a talented guy just make sure you have an excuse to leave or just do the smart thing and clear your afternoon and take a packed lunch hard case guy, will see you right just talks more than me!!!

    Mitch did the new trigger on black beauty. Great service and price.

    He's an awesome guy and a very good gunsmith. If you get a chance to see inside his workshop .. you're in for a treat - it's like aladins cave. If you get a chance to see inside his "other" workshop .. well .. you are very lucky

    Have heard good things but he did have a friends remington 1100 for almost 2 years and when he got it back it still had issues as he had put the trigger back in wrong and wouldnt lock open on the last round and he lost the gun case he took it in with but possibly this was a isolated case ?

    That doesn't sound too flash. I hope he replaced your mates case.

    I've never had anything but on time, on budget service from Allan Carr - and and excellent standard of good craftsmanship - and you're the first person that I've heard of having issues ...

    Everyone around here that I know of uses him .. and I've never heard a bad word said about him.
