Gunsmithing New Mexico gunsmith for FN SPR A1 ?

[StrayDog]

I own an FN SPR A1 that pretty much outshoots me. I'm trying to decide if it's worth the expense to bed and upgrade it. Can anybody recommend a gunsmith in the central New Mexico area that works reliably on FN/Winchester model 70s? I realize i will be voiding the warranty, but hey, i've only ever shot handloads from the get-go and that voids the warranty as well. I'm interested in dropping the rifle into a bedded Manners T2-A to get an adjustable cheekpiece and wring any extra accuracy out of it, along with installing a CDI bottom metal and dropping the stock trigger pull down to @ 2.5lbs or so. I've found a place called High Score Gunsmithing online in Albuquerque--anybody got experience with them? Particularly with FNs or Win. Model 70s? I'm assuming most smiths will install such items if provided by the buyer?
Thanks for any help/ideas.

Great place to work with! </div></div>

I've seen and fired a couple of OutlawTen5's scorehigh rifles, they are shooters and the fit/finish is excellent...

Thanks guys,
Made my mind up to call ScoreHigh in Albuquerque this week and talk about cost+time to properly bed my rifle and reduce the original winchester trigger pull to @ 2 lbs. Their website is confidence inspiring as are the comments here. I'm kind of interested in their "precision scope installation" as well, after seeing the photos online.
I knew joining the hide would be helpful.
Gung Ho.

Have them do the scope mounting when he is doing the bedding. Having the scope checked for operation and put on straight makes a big difference.
