Jon at Area 419. We go on a yearly prairie dog trip, and in the last year he has built me a semi-custom 204 on a savage and a custom 700 in 6.5CM. Both are top of the line rigs. He built himself a 700 in 22-250 that is an absolute laser, and just built a 6mmBR for a friend that is also a glorious gun. Check out his website (www.area419.com) and give him a call, I promise you won't be disappointed. He can do anything and everything, your gun will be second to none.

He has done a few rifles for me and just did an amazing 22-250 for O'Neill Ops

Jon @ Area419 definitely builds some great guns. Highly recommend him as well. Chad Dixon has built me a few guns as well and I highly recommend him as well.
Where do you live? I always recommend using a "local" smith if possible to deal with unforeseen issues that always seem to crop up. It's easier to deal with an issue if you can make a personal visit.
+1 with Goin'Hot
If available use your local smith, VERY good advice.
If he is not up to the skill level you require then look elsewhere.
That said, I am spoiled rotten! GAP, Cresent Customs, Gordy Gritters, Badger Ord and Manners all within 15 mins of my house.....

+1000 or more. I've been burned real bad because I sent a rifle out of state to a popular smith who thinks it's cool not to answer the phone, return calls, return emails, or return registered mail. For a year. Literally.
Local guy you have a relationship with is the way to go.

Well, if not Florida, at least see if you can find a good smith in a Georgia or southern Alabama. If you need to make a drive to work something out, you don't want to be driving to the middle of the country or the west coast...
Having a custom gun built is supposed to be a good experience. I've had two built that were nightmares. Built by recommended smiths in the middle of the country that talk a good talk with short delivery times and I got shafted. Won't answer phones, time frames that got blown out of proportion, all kinds of excuses.
