Best person to cut inlets into blank laminated stocks?

Hi All, thinking of getting hold of a blank GRS laminated stock to have an inlet cut for a Steyr Pro Hunter, as GRS don't do Steyr inlets. Does anyone know who best to use for this kind of work? Approx. costs involved?
Cheers

Yeah maybe if the GRS blanks were just cheap unfinished blocks of laminate I'd think about having a go, but they come shaped and finished except have no inlet. So I'm not keen to start hacking into a stock like that myself because I would likely balls it up and kiss goodbye to more hard earned dollars :)

If there's no-one around who could do it I'll shelve that idea.

If only I had my machines I would happily have helped. I kinda enjoy inletting and have done a number GRS's too.

Thanks Jaco, shame you don't have your gear. It seems the sort of job that needs a hell of a lot of skill to me!
